A new test for estimating iliotibial band contracture.

چکیده
Contracture of the iliotibial band leading to flexion and abduction deformity at the hip is common in residual paralysis after polio. Ober's test has been used to detect this, but it is unreliable and cannot determine the degree of contracture. We describe a new test which quantifies this contracture and can be used for comparative purposes.

New minimally invasive option for the treatment of gluteal muscle contracture.
Gluteal muscle contracture is a clinical syndrome that involves contracture and distortion of the gluteal muscles and fascia fibers due to multiple causes. Physical examination demonstrates a characteristic gait due to hip adduction and internal thigh rotation. This study introduces a new minimally invasive method for surgical release of gluteal muscle contracture. Patients with gluteal muscle ...
متن کاملPelvic deformity secondary to tensor fascia lata tightness associated with desmoid tumor.
The iliotibial band is a thick, condensed fascia that, when contracted, leads to a hip flexion, abduction, and external rotation contracture in addition to other joint contractures. Iliotibial band tightness occurs secondary to iliotibial band friction syndrome, which commonly occurs at the lateral femoral epicondylar region. However, a proximal cause of iliotibial band/tensor fascia lata frict...
متن کاملAssociations between iliotibial band injury status and running biomechanics in women.
Iliotibial band syndrome (ITBS) is a common overuse knee injury that is twice as likely to afflict women compared to men. Lower extremity and trunk biomechanics during running, as well as hip abductor strength and iliotibial band flexibility, are factors believed to be associated with ITBS. The purpose of this cross-sectional study was to determine if differences in lower extremity and trunk bi...
متن کاملPatellar hypomobility and the flexibility of the iliotibial band and the femoral quadriceps.
Background. The aim of our study was to determine whether or not the flexibility of the iliotibial band and femoral quadriceps have an impact on patellar hypomobility, due to their connections with the patellar stabilizers. Material and methods. We examined 62 patients (44 females, 18 males) with a median age of 15 years (range 9-19). All these patients had patellofemoral dysfunction in the tes...
متن کاملA prospective study of iliotibial band strain in runners.
BACKGROUND Iliotibial band syndrome is the leading cause of lateral knee pain in runners. It is thought that pain develops from strain on the iliotibial band due to friction of the iliotibial band sliding over the lateral femoral epicondyle. The purpose of this study was to investigate mechanical strain in the iliotibial band as a possible causative factor in the development of iliotibial band ...
