Intended Users of our Shin Brace
Athletes are the most common candidates of shin braces. These cut across the entire spectrum of sportsmen whose profession require cyclical and intense loading of the tibia. Football players suffer lower extremity injuries quite often. They get shin splints as a result of the repetitive impact loading the tibia experiences when these players run, jump, land, and kick the ball. Many football player are diagnosed with tibial stress syndrome(Soccer, n.d.). Increased training intensity and duration especially when the season is just around the corner comes with increased shin splints.
Shin splints are also quite common among dancers. Most inflammations of the shin among dancers occurs during periods if intensified exercise, and when trying new, repetitive moves, especially when an upcoming performance is just around the corner(Shin Splint Solutions for Dancers, n.d.). The resulting increased activity overworks muscles, tendons and bone tissues causing shin splints. Thee dancers are potential users of shin braces to relieve the resulting pain.
Persons with general weakness in the tibia also need shin braces. Anatomical abnormalities resulting in unusual stresses in the tibia is also a common case that necessitates use of shin braces to treat resulting shin splints(Shin Splints, 2023). This help them alleviate pain as they train their legs to get stonier and accommodate more stress and cyclical loading.
