Description
Lucas Nogueira de Oliveira and five co-authors compare leg muscles in runners with a common shin pain problem in this 2024 paper. The problem, called medial tibial stress syndrome, causes pain along the shin bone. It is often linked to strain in deep muscles at the back of the lower leg.
The team scanned thirty people with MRI: eighteen with the shin problem and twelve without it. They measured the size of muscles and tendons in four leg compartments. One deep muscle that bends the big toe was clearly larger in the pain group. No link with sex appeared. The authors suggest doctors check that muscle when runners report this kind of shin pain.
