PURPOSE: Iliotibial band syndrome (ITBS) is one of the most common overuse leg injuries. Two current theories - friction and compression attempt to correlate cause lateral knee pain inflammation iliotibial (ITB). Despite lack consensus, both suggest that strain plays a key role in all potential mechanisms injury. The purpose this study measure ITB non-invasively over skin, as basis for further evaluation ITBS correlated changing rates. METHODS: Strain was measured using ‘strain measurement...
