11 paź 2023 · Treatment. Prevention. Iliotibial (IT) band syndrome causes pain on the ouside of your knee or hip. It most commonly occurs from overuse or an injury. Faulty biomechanics, or when parts of the body are not properly aligned, can also contribute. With more severe injuries, an IT band can tear.
Physical therapy, frequently used to both treat and prevent the progression (worsening) of IT band syndrome, involves stretching and strengthening the IT band and other muscles that surround the knee and the hip.
15 mar 2023 · Iliotibial band syndrome (ITBS) is an overuse injury of the lateral knee that occurs primarily in runners and was first described in 1973 [1]. Pain develops where the iliotibial band (ITB) courses over the lateral femoral epicondyle (LFE), just proximal to the lateral joint line.
