It is characterized by pain in the middle and lower end of tibia; the pain is usually elicited by practicing sports or other physical activities. The criteria for diagnosis for MTSS were established by Yates and White. Although the prognosis of MTSS is usually benign, it can evolve to chronicity and be disabling.

Study will correspond to the demonstration of treatment options for medial tibial stress syndrome that lie in the domain of Physical Therapy. Therapeutic Ultrasound and Shortwave Diathermy.
