6. Ilio-tibial band
It’s important to remember that the fascia
around the thigh is continuous and is just
thickened into the ilio-tibial band (IT band)
at the lateral aspect of the thigh.
7. Ilio-tibial band Syndrome
Pain is usually located
at the distal aspect of
the tract, just above the
joint line of the knee
8. Ilio-tibial band Syndrome
Muscle imbalance of weak glutes
coupled with overactive tensor
fascia lata and adductor
musculature creates a fascial pull
that draws the ilio-tibial band
anteriorly.
This creates increased friction
over the lateral femoral condyle and
ultimately inflammation and
pain.
