Official Title: Comparative Effects of Clamshells and Frog Pump Exercises on Gluteus Medius Strengthening and Lower Extremity Function in Runners With Iliotibial Band Syndrome
Brief 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.
