Study population: This study will include 48 patients diagnosed with medial tibial stress syndrome (MTSS) by the sports medicine physicians in İzmir Bozyaka Training and Research Hospital, Tepecik Training and Research Hospital and Ege University. The individuals who volunteers and meets the inclusion criteria will be included in the study.

Brief summary: The medial tibial stress syndrome (MTSS) score was originally developed in Dutch to assess severity of disease relative to patient-reported outcome, particularly patients with MTSS. The purpose of this study was to translate and cross-culturally adapt the MTSS score into Turkish and investigate its psychometric properties.

Detailed description: The medial tibial stress syndrome (MTSS) score was originally developed in Dutch to assess severity of disease relative to patient-reported outcome, particularly people with MTSS. The purpose of this study was to translate and cross-culturally adapt the MTSS score into Turkish and investigate its psychometric properties. Fourty-eight individuals with MTSS will include. Within a 7-day period after the first assessment, the participants completed the Turkish version of the MTSS score to evaluate test-retest reliability.

Cronbach's alpha (α) was used to assess internal consistency. Construct validity was examined total score of PCS domain of SF-36-Tr with MTSS-Tr total score in the first visit. Concurrent validity was examined by evaluating the relationship between pain level and Detmer's classification with MTSS score in the first visit. The pain level of the patient assessed with visual analog scale (VAS) score.

Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

* Patients diagnosed with MTSS by a sports medicine physician
* Patients aged between 18 and 75 years
* Patients whose native language is Turkish
* Patients who volunteered to participate in the study

Exclusion Criteria:

* Having tibia fracture history,
* Patients with suspected stress fracture or chronic compartment syndrome,
* Pregnant and breastfeeding women
