Iliotibial Band Anatomy And Biomechanics, Implications For The Treatment Of Iliotibial Band Syndrome

چکیده
METHODS: Gross anatomical studies of 20 embalmed cadavers that examined origins, insertions and significant attachments of the ITB were performed. The strain generated in the ITB by three typical stretching manoeuvres (Obers test: OBER, Hip flexion, adduction and external loading: HIP, Straight leg raise: SLR) was measured in 5 unembalmed cadavers using foil-type strain gauges. An ultrasound assessment of the Tensae Fasciae Latae (TFL)/ITB aponeurosis interface was performed on 20 professional athletes during a functional task designed to induce strain in the ITB providing in vivo measurement of actual displacement.

BACKGROUND Iliotibial band syndrome is the leading cause of lateral knee pain in runners. Despite its high prevalence, little is known about the biomechanics that lead to this syndrome. The purpose of this study was to prospectively compare lower extremity kinematics and kinetics between a group of female runners who develop iliotibial band syndrome compared to healthy controls. It was hypothes...
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 ...
متن کاملAssociation between Iliotibial Band Syndrome Status and Running Biomechanics in Women
Iliotibial band syndrome (ITBS) is a common overuse running injury. Atypical secondary plane lower-extremity and trunk biomechanics during running are likely to play a role in the etiology of ITBS [1, 2]. Proximal factors such as a large hip adduction angle may increase the tensile strain in the iliotibial band during the stance phase of running [1]. A lack of ability to limit hip adduction may...
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...
