ZAMST SS-1 TIBIAL BAND size M - LEFT

SS-1 is the support designed by Zamst for the recovery and prevention of injuries and pain caused by medial tibial stress syndrome (Shin-Splint). Medial tibial stress syndrome is an inflammation of the complex: muscles, tendons and periosteum (connective tissue that lines and nourishes the bone) of the tibia. Pain is most frequently reported in the inner/posterior part of the leg, with some case histories presenting pain in the lateral/posterior part. People most at risk of experiencing tibial periostitis are athletes whose discipline requires frequent running: such as runners, soccer players, basketball players, and rugby players.

Product Pluses:

- P-Tech: technology with special padding placed along the tibia to make the muscle integral with the periosteum to limit slippage responsible for inflammation;

- Absorb vibrations given by foot-ground contact, greatly alleviating pain;

- Compression produced on the leg muscles complements the action of the padding so that the muscle is supported and slips on the periosteum are prevented;

- Rom-Tech: anatomically designed technology to allow all movements to be smooth and natural;

- I-Fit: adjustable closure for a customized fit, maximum comfort and variable compression level;

- V-Tech: integrated ventilation and stretch and breathable materials that convey moisture produced by the body to the outside;

- Flyweight-Tech: premium materials with optimised weight;

- Grip-Tech: Non-slip grip to keep the product in place during activity;

- Technological product with different anatomical cut between right/left ankle;

TYPE OF INJURY: Specific for tibial periostitis, tendon and muscle unloading, injury recovery and/or prevention. Tibial periostitis is the most common form of periostitis; depending on the area in which the inflammatory process is localised, it can be distinguished into: Anterior tibial Periostitis, with inflammation located in the anterior area of the tibia and Posterior tibial Periostitis, with inflammation located in the inner region of the leg, along the tibia.

SYMPTOMS AND SIGNS: The main symptom of periostitis is severe pain at the involved part, usually located at the medial edge of the tibia, about 10 cm above the ankle. Initially, the pain associated with periostitis tends to subside after travelling a few kilometres, after which the discomfort tends to persist and occurs even at rest.

TREATMENT OF THE INJURIES: Generally speaking, absolute rest in the acute phase of the inflammation and abstention from sporting activity for at least a month is recommended, with the fundamental objective of preventing it from becoming chronic; to this end, SS-1 has been created for the functional recovery and/or prevention of sportsmen and sportswomen subject to this problem. WARNING: An objective examination by a medical specialist is
