Exempel på iliotibial

• It inserts at the iliotibial band and the gluteal tuberosity of the femur.

• Iliopsoas and iliotibial band lengthening can be done arthroscopically.

• The figure shows only the proximal part of the iliotibial tract.

• Of these the lateral are the stronger, and are continuous with the iliotibial band.

• Light aerobic activity (warmup) followed by stretching and strengthening of the proper hamstring, hip flexors, and iliotibial band length is important for reducing recurrences.

• Other causes of trochanteric bursitis include uneven leg length, iliotibial band syndrome, and weakness of the hip abductor muscles.

• These include shoe-fitting problems, lateral ankle instability, lower limb stress fractures, knee pain, iliotibial band friction syndrome, back pain and tripping.

• Possible causes include a tight iliotibial band, neuromas, bursitis, overuse, malalignment, core instability, and patellar maltracking.

• The origin of the iliotibial tract is the iliac tubercle.

• Correcting any contributing biomechanical abnormalities and stretching tightened muscles, such as the iliopsoas muscle or iliotibial band, is the goal of treatment to prevent recurrence.

• The tensor fasciae latae tautens the iliotibial band and braces the knee, especially when the opposite foot is lifted.

• Physical therapy to strengthen the hip muscles and stretch the iliotibial band can relieve tension in the hip and reduce friction.

• Change in running volume may lead to development of patellofemoral pain syndrome, iliotibial band syndrome, patellar tendinopathy, plica syndrome, and medial tibial stress syndrome.

• Patients with sacroiliac joint dysfunction can also develop tightness and dysfunction in the hamstring, quadriceps, iliotibial tract (see iliotibial band syndrome) and hip flexors, including the psoas muscle.

• Harris tore the anterior cruciate ligament, the lateral collateral ligament, the iliotibial band, the fibular collateral ligament, and the lateral hamstring.
