  • Title: Iliotibial band syndrome in distance runners.
    Author: Sutker AN, Barber FA, Jackson DW, Pagliano JW.
    Journal: Sports Med; 1985; 2(6):447-51. PubMed ID: 3852379.
    Abstract:
    Iliotibial band syndrome was diagnosed in 48 of 1030 runners treated for lower extremity musculoskeletal complaints. Most athletes had been running 20 to 40 miles a week for one year or longer and had significantly changed their distance, speed, terrain, surface, and/or shoes before the onset of symptoms. Symptoms often persisted for 2 to 6 months. All runners were treated conservatively with rest, stretching, reduced distance, anti-inflammatory medications, local cortisone injections and/or orthoses.
