Overview

History

Common Symptoms

Iliotibial Band Syndrome symptoms range from a stinging sensation just above the knee joint (on the outside of the knee or along the entire length of the iliotibial band) to swelling or thickening of the tissue at the point where the band moves over the femur. The pain may not occur immediately during activity, but may intensify over time, especially as the foot strikes the ground. Pain might persist after activity. Pain may also be present below the knee, where the ITB actually attaches to the tibia.

ITBS can also occur where the IT band connects to the hip, though this is less likely as a sports injury. It commonly occurs during pregnancy, as the connective tissues loosen and the woman gains weight -- each process adding more pressure. ITBS at the hip also commonly affects the elderly. ITBS at the hip is studied less; few treatments are generally known.

Sports Activities to Avoid while Symptomatic

  • Running, especially hills and on arched surfaces (such as roads and tracks)
  • Stair Stepping
  • Dead lifts or Squats
  • Court sports, such as tennis, basketball, or similar
  • Martial arts, such as Karate (especially where being bare foot emphasises any symptoms being caused by leg/foot abnormalities)
