Revisiting the Role of Iliotibial Band
B.Maithilidutta pradhan
The iliotibial band (ITB) is now recognized as a dynamic, muscle-controlled fascial structure rather than a passive band of tissue. Emerging evidence suggests that ITB syndrome is driven more by impaired hip muscle function, altered neuromuscular control, and faulty running mechanics than by friction alone. Consequently, rehabilitation is shifting from passive interventions like stretching and foam rolling toward hip abductor strengthening, gait retraining, and movement optimization, which demonstrate better clinical outcomes. This evolving understanding highlights the ITB's broader role in lower-limb stability and performance, emphasizing the need for function-based assessment and rehabilitation supported by further high-quality research.
