Iliotibial Band Syndrome

What is Iliotibial Band Syndrome?
Iliotibial band syndrome is also known as runner’s knee. The iliotibial band runs down the outside of the thigh. When it becomes tight the tendon starts to rub on the bone at the knee. Eventually it will become inflamed and cause pain when you run. Resting will decrease the pain, but when you run again the pain will return.

Symptoms

Swelling
Knee gives out
Pain when you walk and/or run.

A Healthy Knee

Ligaments connect the bones and help brace the joint by limiting forward and sideways motion and rotation. Muscles, connected to the bones by tendons, provide strength for movement.

An Injured Knee

Long-term wear, overuse, or a sudden injury, such as twisting your knee, can cause the muscles and tendons to overstretch (strain) or the ligaments to tear (sprain). The bones may twist, causing a misaligned joint.
