ABSTRACT
A síndrome do estresse tibial medial é uma lesão comum devido a sobrecarga mecânica, principalmente em atletas, devido a inflamação local e estresse ósseo. A terapia de ondas de choque (TOC) vem sendo utilizada como tratamento para esta patologia por seus efeitos analgésicos e anti-inflamatórios. Objetivo: Avaliar a eficácia da TOC no tratamento analgésico da síndrome do estresse tibial medial e medidas de funcionalidade. Métodos: Foi realizada uma revisão da literatura, sendo incluídos estudos clínicos em humanos. Resultados: 3 artigos preencheram os critérios de inclusão, incluindo 166 pacientes. Os trabalhos trouxeram uma ampla variedade de intervenções, tipos de aparelhos, frequência e energia utilizada, além de diferenças nas quantidades de sessões e tipos de ondas de choque utilizado no tratamento. Conclusão: Ainda não há evidências consistentes quanto ao uso da TOC no tratamento conservador da síndrome do estresse tibial medial, com estudos pequenos, de qualidade metodológica baixa. Os estudos inclusos no trabalho não relataram efeitos colaterais significativos
Medial tibial stress syndrome is a common injury due to mechanical overload, especially in athletes due to local inflammation and bone stress. Shockwave therapy (ESWT) has been used as a treatment for this pathology due to its analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects. Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of ESWT in the analgesic treatment of medial tibial stress syndrome and measures of functionality. Methods: A review of the literature was conducted, with clinical studies in humans included. Results: 3 articles fulfilled the inclusion criteria, including 166 patients. The trials involved a wide variety of interventions, types of devices, frequency and energy used, as well as differences in the number of sessions and types of shock waves used in treatment. Conclusion: There is still no consistent evidence regarding the use of ESWT in the conservative treatment of medial tibial stress syndrome, with small studies of low methodological quality. Studies included in this review did not report significant side effects

El síndrome de estrés tibial interno es una enfermedad frecuente en el personal militar durante los primeros meses de su entrenamiento. Su etiología no es muy clara y en diferentes trabajos se han descrito varios factores intrínsecos de riesgo relacionados con este síndrome, pero poco se han enfocado en identificar factores extrínsecos de riesgo en el personal militar. Objetivo: Hacer una aproximación a la identificación de los factores extrínsecos de riesgo relacionados con el síndrome de estrés tibial interno en personal militar de primer y segundo nivel de la Escuela Militar de Cadetes General José María Córdova. Metodología: La muestra la conformaron100 cadetes de la facultades de Educación Física Militar, de Ingeniería Civil y de Ciencias Militares, que contestaron dos cuestionarios: en uno se buscó identificar la presencia de síntomas y signos activos del síndrome de estrés tibial interno y, en el otro, los factores de riesgo descritos en la literatura y aquellos que a consideración del investigador podrían relacionarse con este síndrome. Resultados: El 21 % de los cadetes presentó el síndrome de estrés tibial interno. Los factores extrínsecos de riesgo identificados fueron: percibir el calzado deportivo de dotación como similar al calzado particular y realizar repetición de la actividad como correctivo en la formación militar. Los factores protectores identificados en los cadetes fueron: correr menos de 10 km, tener un acumulado de 20 a 30 km utilizando el calzado de dotación, percibir el calzado de dotación como pesado o similar al calzado común, desarrollar los entrenamientos físicos de su formación militar sobre la grama y realizar el correctivo militar trote alrededor de la escuela. Conclusion: Se logró determinar que considerar el calzado deportivo de dotación como inadecuado para el entrenamiento deportivo y someterse al correctivo militar...
Introduction: The medial tibial stress syndrome (MTES) is a common condition in military personnel during the first months of their training. Its etiology is unclear and different studies have described several intrinsic risk factors associated with this syndrome, but few have focused on identifying extrinsic risk factors in military personnel. Objective: The central aim of the study was to make an approach to the identification of extrinsic risk factors related to MTES in first year academy military personnel. Methodes: The sample consisted of 100 first year military personnel attending the physical education, civil engineering and military science pregraduate majors. They answered two questionnaires, one sought to identify cadets who had symptoms and signs of active MTES, and the second questionnaire sought to identify risk factors described in the literature and those that the researcher considered to be related to this syndrome. Results: 21% of the military personnel had MTES, and the extrinsic risk factors identified in the cadets were: perceiving the military issued sneakers as usual to the regular footwear and performing repetition of the activity as a corrective measure as part of the military training. Protective factors identified in the military personnel were: running less than 10 km, to have a total accumulated of 20 to 30 km using military issued boots, to perceive military issued footwear as heavy or usual to common footwear, to do the physical military training over grass and to run to the academy premises as a corrective measure in their military training. Conclusions: It was possible to identify that the military personnel who perceived as inadequate the military issued sneakers to perform their sports training and the military ...

In this study, the cause, diagnosis, and treatment of common lower limb injuries during the sports activities were presented. Sports injuries of the lower limbs are the most common injuries in the sports medicine field due to the high level of use of the lower limbs during sports activities. The common causes of leg injuries in athletes are traumatic force over the critical limit of normal tissue, repetitive microtrauma, and overuse. Common hip and pelvis problems encountered by the authors include trochanteric bursitis, snapping hip syndrome, and labral tears. The anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments, medial and lateral collateral ligaments, and meniscus have been most frequently involved in sports injuries affecting the knees. Lateral ankle sprain represents one of common injuries in the athletic population. Common overuse injuries are tendinopathies, stress fractures, chronic exertional compartment syndrome, and shin splints. Athletic activity provides a variety of positive benefits to participants' health. To safely continue those activities, an injury prevention program focusing on injuries that may occur in specific sports activities is recommended for participants. Early diagnosis and proper treatment are also important in promoting prompt recovery and preventing secondary injuries.

Running is becoming one of the most popular leisure sports. Part of the growing popularity of running is its easy accessibility and health benefits. The incidence of running injuries rates ranges from 37% to 56%, which incidence rate is still 2 to 6 times lower than in all other sports. Most running injuries are musculoskeletal overuse syndrome of the lower extremity. The risk factors of running injuries can be training errors, improper running surface, worn shoes, body flexibility, prior injury. The knee is the most common site of injury and accouts for 25% to 33% of all, and pa-tellofemoral stress syndrome is the most common known as runner's knee. Iliotibial band syndrome, medial tibial stress syndrome, plantar fascitis, Achilles tendinitis, stress fracture are common injuries in runners. The physical examination includes a biomechanical screening to identify related imbalances. Additionally, each runner is observed walking and running. This comprehensive, running specific approach to diagnosis can be helpful in developing optimum rehabilitation program.

Iliotibial band syndrome, medial tibial stress syndrome, plantar fascitis, Achilles tendinitis, and stress fracture are all common injuries among runners. The process of rehabilitation is to be divided into four stages according to the athlete's level of function; the initial stage, intermediate stage, advanced stage, and final stage.
