Abstract
The development of a medial tibial stress syndrome injury prevention program came about with an increase in MTSS cases over the past four years. Literature review was conducted to identify 6 risk factors to address with an injury prevention program and a way to individualize it for each athletes’ specific needs. The 6 risk factors identified nutritional deficits, range of motion in the lower extremity and strength deficits, biomechanical abnormalities, sleep patterns, previous running injury, and body weight.1-11 This concluded the first PDSA cycle of the creation of a program with excel program and 2 intake forms for the clinician and athlete that can be followed up in the next year by a second PDSA cycle for the implementation and review of the data collected at that time to test the effectiveness of the created program.
