The iliotibial (IT) tract or band is a lateral thickening of the fascia lata that is composed of the distal fusion of the muscular fascia of the gluteus maximus and tensor fascia lata muscles. The iliotibial tract travels along the lateral side of the thigh and across the knee joint, inserting on the lateral epicondyle of the tibia. A tight IT band has been diagnosed in several problems related to the knee including patellofemoral syndrome and iliotibial band syndrome. Several authors have suggested that tightness in the IT band may contribute to patellofemoral syndrome and knee pain by pulling the patella laterally thereby causing abnormal tracking of the patella in the trochlear groove. Stretching of the iliotibial band is frequently recommended in treatment programs for patients with LBP. Because the iliotibial band attaches to the ilium, tightness of this muscle is thought to cause anterior innominate rotation and lateral pelvic tilt. The Ober test is performed to assess tightness in the iliotibial band. The term myofascial release encompasses various techniques used to release fascial restrictions. Many forms of bodywork that includes a soft tissue technique exist with Bowen therapy, Emmett technique, deep tissue massage, neuromuscular techniques (NMT), Muscle Energy Techniques (MET) and foam rolling. This study focusses on effects of myofascial release with Emmett technique. This study will be conducted in a clinical set up (Saba's physical therapy, rehabilitation and sports injury clinic in Gulberg 3) and will take 6 months. Study will be conducted on 22 subjects involving 11 subjects in each group. Group A will be given myofascial release only and group B will be given myofascial release with Emmett technique. Total duration of study will be three weeks and assessment will be done before treatment and after every week. Numeric pain rating scale, goniometer and vertical jump test are used for assessing pain, flexibility and power respectively.

Type | Measure | Description | Time frame | Safety issue |
---|---|---|---|---|
Primary | Numeric Pain Rating Scale | The 11-point numeric scale ranges from '0' representing one pain extreme (e.g. "no pain") to '10' representing the other pain extreme (e.g. "pain as bad as you can imagine" or "worst pain imaginable"). | 2 months | |
Primary | Range of Motion | Standard Goniometer was used to measure how far you can move or stretch a part of your body, such as a joint or a muscle specifically hip joint | 2 months | |
Primary | Vertical Jump test | The Vertical Jump test is designed to measure an applicants lower body strength in . The test is conducted using a vertical jump test gauge. Height was measured in inches or cm The mechanical work performed to accomplish a vertical jump can be determined by using the jump height distance that was measured (using Work = Force x Distance where Force = Mass x Acceleration). | 2 Months |
