MOI

  • short for Ilio Tibial Band Friction Syndrome (ITBFS)
  • Ilio Tibial Band (ITB) connects to your pelvis, goes down the outer side of the thigh and connects with the outer side of the Tibia
  • Ilio Tibial Band is the tissue that connects the hip to the knee.
  • Overuse: bending the knee regularly to overstretch the tendons
  • Direct trauma: falling directly on the knee
  • Misalignment: when the bones are out of the correct position
  • Problems with feet: flat feet or fallen arches (your arch falls, stretching the tendon)
  • weak thigh muscles
