Highlighted claims

• When the femur and tibia are biased in opposing rotational directions, the medial tibia experiences excessive mechanical stress. — Hip Flexor Tightness, Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome, and Real-World PT
• The therapeutic goal is to untwist the knee relationship so that force is distributed more appropriately through the tibia. — Hip Flexor Tightness, Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome, and Real-World PT
• The opposite rotational pattern — loss of hip internal rotation with internally rotated tibia — requires a reversed intervention strategy. — Hip Flexor Tightness, Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome, and Real-World PT
• An arch support may help create tibial internal rotation in athletes with high arches who cannot achieve adequate pronation through movement alone. — Hip Flexor Tightness, Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome, and Real-World PT
