Also known as "runners’ knee", patients with ITB (iliotibial) syndrome typically have pain on the lateral aspect of the knee (outside). The pain is often worsened by repetitive loading on the joint and is often misdiagnosed as lateral meniscus pathology.

Physical Therapy Intervention- In the acute phase, knee bracing, modified activity, addressing poor knee and lower extremity biomechanics, passive modalities and inhibitory taping or ITB bracing are recommended. Specific strengthening exercises for the inner quadriceps muscles along with neuromuscular electrical stimulation may also be effective adjuncts to the rehab. In the subacute to chronic phases, deep friction to the band and "roller" may help to manage the stiffness of the band.
