Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: The patients who was diagnosed with medial tibial stress syndrome by a physician or medical institution. They need to undergo extracorporeal shock wave therapy (focused shock waves or radial pressure waves). The dianosis criteria: 1) exercise-induced pain along the posteromedial tibial border 2) tenderness along a length of at least 5 cm over the posteromedial tibial border 3) without neurological symptoms 4) without stress fracture and chronic exertional compartment syndrome
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: Individuals will be excluded if their physician's diagnosis differs or if it is determined that extracorporeal shock wave therapy is not applicable.
