Post-exercise leg compartment pressure measurements in asymptomatic collegiate distance runners: a prospective study

Conclusions: Elevated anterior leg compartment pressures were prevalent in collegiate distance runners despite a lack of symptoms. Post-exercise compartment pressure measurements should be viewed only as an indicator of exertional compartment syndrome and not relied upon as a confirmatory test. Level of Evidence: Level IV.
