Summary

Iliotibial band syndrome is where a tendon called iliotibial band gets irritated or swollen from rubbing against hip or knee when it gets too tensed. Iliotibial band (ITB) syndrome (ITBS) is the most common cause of lateral knee pain among athletes who are involved in sports that require continuous running or repetitive knee flexion and extension. The incidence ranges from 1.6% to 12% in runners. The aim of the study is to compare the effects of clamshells and frog pump exercises on gluteus medius strengthening and lower extremity function in runners with iliotibial band syndrome.

Conditions

  • Iliotibial Band Syndrome

Interventions

OTHER

Clamshell Exercise

Clamshell Exercise: The clamshell exercise keeps the hips moving, it strengthens both the gluteus medius AND gluteus maximus. The gluteus medius is the main abductor (movement away from the midline of the body) and external rotator of the hip.

OTHER

Frog pump exercise

Frog pump exercise: The frog hip thrust mainly targets the gluteal muscles responsible for thigh extension and abduction. The exercise also works the hamstrings on the back of the thighs which helps in hip extension.
