Abstract
Shin splints are a common overuse injury among
athletes, particularly those participating in sports involving repetitive
impact loading. Basketball players are at an increased risk of developing shin
splints due to the high-impact nature of the sport. This study aimed to
investigate the incidence of shin splints in basketball players using a shin
palpation test and investigate lower extremity impairments utilizing Lower Extremity
Functional Index. The study consisted of 45 district-leveled young basketball players
(male: n = 40, age =21; female: n =05, age =20.4). Lower Extremity Functional Scale
and Shin Palpation test was recorded from the study participants. The findings
of the study demonstrated that there is 20% incidence of shin splints in
basketball players along with mild impairment in the lower extremity function.
