Tibial Muscular Dystrophy Clinical Trial
Official title:
Comparative Effects of Clamshell Technique With Electrical Muscle Stimulation Versus Conservative Treatment in Iliotibial Band Tightness for Pain and Function
Iliotibial band syndrome (ITBS) is a common knee injury that usually presents with pain and/or tenderness on palpation of the lateral aspect of the knee, superior to the joint line and inferior to the lateral femoral epicondyle. The current theory is that this condition is likely to be caused by compression of the innervated tissues beneath the iliotibial band (ITB), leading to inflammation.
There were effects of clamshell exercises on gluteus medius, quadratus lumborum and anterior hip flexor. However their effect was limited on iliotibial band tightness. Hip/knee coordination and running style have also been identified as key factors in the treatment of ITBS, highlighting the complexity of the condition. The present study will focus on effect of clamshell techniques with electrical muscle stimulation versus Conservative treatment in iliotibial band tightness for pain and function.The goal is to determine which technique is more effecient in improving function and reducing pain and soreness of Iliotibial band. ;
