ABSTRACT
Iliotibial band syndrome (ITBS) injuries comprise as much as 22% of knee injuries (Ballas et al., 1997). Rehabilitation may take as much as six weeks (Clancy, 1989). Termination of running, rest and ice are the more prevalent conservative treatments for this injury (Ballas et al., 1997). With respect to recovery from ITB syndrome, there are two quantifiable measures that are hypothesized to correlate with ITBS recovery: Iliotibial band flexibility and increased hip abductor strength (Fredericson et aI., 1997).
