Table 4 Likelihood of risk factors associated with MTSS for 17 articles included in the systematic review

From: Are Leg Muscle, Tendon and Functional Characteristics Associated with Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome? A Systematic Review

Likely

Possible

Not associated

Decreased lean leg girth [10]

Deficit in ankle plantar flexor endurance [12]

Leg tendon abnormality [38]

Higher peak SOL muscle activity during propulsion [37]

Greater isokinetic concentric eversion strength [11]

MVIC strength of leg muscle groups [17, 21]

Increased shear modulus of leg muscles [13, 22]

Altered neuromuscular recruitment strategies [15, 19]
