Abstract:

Purpose: Iliotibial band tightness can raise the risk of injury by altering biomechanics. ITB tightness leads to abnormal patellar alignment and tracking and causes pain and several other problems. To assess the frequency of iliotibial band tightness and its relation with anterior knee pain in health-care workers Methodology: It was a cross-sectional research conducted from September 2021 to February 2022. Sample size of the study was 210. Study settings included the government and private hospitals of Faisalabad. In order to recruit healthcare providers, a convenient sampling technique

<strong>Abstract</strong> <strong>Background: </strong>Knee osteoarthritis is common degenerative joint disease brought on by wear and tear and progressive loss of articular cartilage. Hamstring muscles have tendency to shorten and tighten in knee osteoarthritis. Decrease in hamstring flexibility in patient with OA causes functional limitation. Therestrictions in fascia are responsible for myofascial trigger point formation which increases the tension in the IT band which results in spot tenderness, muscle and fascial tightness.MFR is a soft tissue mobilization technique.

Abstract:

Backgrounds: Iliotibial band syndrome (ITBS) is one of the many different causes of lateral knee pain. The iliotibial band (ITB) is the distal fascial continuation of the tensor fascia lata, gluteus medius, and gluteal maximus. It traverses superficial to the vastus lateralis and inserts on the Gerdy tubercle of the lateral tibial plateau and partially to the supracondylar ridge of the lateral femur. The etiology of ITBS is controversial and likely multifactorial. One theory advocates that repetitive friction of the ITB and the lateral epicondyle during flexion and extension lead to inflammati

Many musculoskeletal patients, members of the active population, runners, and cyclists have clinical iliotibial band tightness, which predisposes them to ITB- related diseases such ITB friction syndrome and Patellofemoral pain syndrome. Most treatment programmes call for stretching to improve ITB flexibility. A therapeutic technique for relaxing soft tissue from areas of abnormally tight fascia is myofascial release using a foam roller. For subjects with ITB, it has been suggested that strengthening their hip abductors will help with their symptoms.12 Only a few research have been done to asse
