1. Iliotibial band syndrome The iliotibial band (ITB) is a thickening of the fascia lata on the lateral thigh that spans out from the iliac crest to the proximal part of the tibia, and acts as important lateral stabilizer of the pelvis and knee. It serves as common tendon for the gluteus...
Iliotibial band syndrome is a common injury, occurring in up to 12 percent of all runners.1The pain associated with this syndrome is often described as "burning" and is reproduced clinically with Noble's test, in which the examiner compresses the distal band against the lateral femoral condyle...

Although different conservative treatment options have been proposed, there is a paucity of research on the management of iliotibial band syndrome (ITBS) in runners.To compare two treatment protocols for ITBS; radial shockwave therapy (RSWT) and manual therapy (ManT). Both therapies were ...
Iliotibial band friction syndrome (ITBFS) is an overuse syndrome resulting from friction between the iliotibial band and the lateral femoral epicondyle during flexion and extension of the knee. It is often found in runners. If it is suspected, Ober's test for iliotibial band tightness should be...
