About this study
Official title: Effects of Posterior Oblique Sling Strengthening Exercises on Pain & Flexibility Among Runners With Iliotibial Band Syndrome
The popularity of recreational running and rate of running related injuries are increasing. Research has shown that iliotibial band syndrome (ITBS) is one of the most common knee injuries among runners alongside plantar fasciitis, meniscal injuries, patellar tendinopathy, and patelleofemoral pain (PFP). ITBS is twice as common in female runners as compared to male long distance runners due to biomechanical variations. Literature supports the use of gluteal strengthening and IT band stretching as an effective treatment for iliotibial band syndrome. Posterior oblique sling is activated during running and its weakness is thought to be the predisposing factor of iliotibial band syndrome among long distance runners. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of posterior oblique sling exercises in decreasing lateral knee pain and improving flexibility of iliotibial band among female runner compared to gluteal strengthening and IT band stretching alone.
Data will be collected by using non-probability purposive sampling method. Sample size will be 26. 13 Female runners with average running of 15 kilometers per week and chronic iliotibial band syndrome will be employed in two different study groups A and B randomly. Both groups will get treatment for four weeks four times per week. Control group A will get conventional treatment of hip abductors strengthening and Iliotibial band stretching and Experimental group B will get posterior oblique sling strengthening exercises plus conventional hip abductors strengthening and IT band stretching. Pain and flexibility will be measured before treatment after every week and by the end of the month to note progression. Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) will be used to rate pain and modified Ober's test using digital inclinometer will be used to rate flexibility of iliotibial band. Statistical analysis will be done using SPSS latest version
Read the detailed description
The purpose of this study is to compare the two different treatment protocols for Iliotibial band syndrome and help create an effective treatment option for long distance runners who suffer lateral knee pain due to IT band tightness.
The study will be Randomized control trial. Non-probability purposive sampling method will be used.Subjective and objective data of all the participants will be taken by using NPRS, Modified Ober's test using Digital inclinometer, Noble's compression test and ITB Questionnaire.
Researcher will take careful history of the participant with proper assessment and examination of the knee.
At baseline, weekly and by the end of 4th week of treatment objective and subjective measurements of participants will be taken using NPRS, Modified Ober's test using Digital inclinometer, Noble's Compression test and ITB Questionnaire.
All the participants will receive equal treatment of 4 weeks. The Data will be analyzed using SPSS for windows software version 25. Statistical significance P=0.05. After assessing the normality of current data by shapiro wilk test. it will be decided whether parametric or non parametric test will be used within the groups or between 2 groups.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Hip abductors stretching and strengthening exercisesOther
Treatment consist of four stretches for the ITB including: ITB stretch with trunk side bend, ITB stretch with trunk side bend and upward lateral reach, trunk side bend with downward lateral reach and side lying leg adduction and Strengthening exercise plan involving the gluteal muscle groups. These exercises include clams, side-lying abduction, reverse clams and supine bridge
Posterior oblique sling strengthening exercisesOther
Treatment consists of treatment A plus the intervention program of POSS consisted of four different exercises utilizing activation of the POSS. The intervention program focuses on one specific exercise each week that will progress in difficulty over the 4 weeks. The equipment used in the exercise progression included a blue, latex-free, medium-resistance theraband (TB), and the final exercise of the progression will include the use of a step stool. The TB will be used to increase the activation of the latissimus dorsi while simultaneously performing lower-extremity exercise to increase gluteal muscle involvement. The exercises are to be used in the 4-week progression.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Hip abductors stretching and strengthening exercises | Experimental | Patients will get the hip abductor stretching and strengthening exercise treatment for four weeks four times per week and will consist of four sets of 15 repetitions. Receives: Other: Hip abductors stretching and strengthening exercises |
| Posterior oblique sling strengthening exercises | Experimental | Patients will get treatment plan of Hip abductors stretching and strengthening exercises plus a posterior oblique sling strengthening program for four weeks, four times per week and will consist of four sets of 15 repetitions. Receives: Other: Posterior oblique sling strengthening exercises |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Numerical Rating Scale-101 Questionnaire:
The patient's perception of their pain intensity level is recorded on a numerical scale from 1 to 100, with 0 being no pain and 100 being the worst pain. The patient indicates by means of a percentage on a 10cm line, when the pain was at its worst and again on another 10cm line when the pain was at its least. The average of these two figures indicates the average pain experienced by the patient as a percentage. NRS-101 questionnaire is regarded as a superior measuring instrument, being extremely easy to administer and score. It can be done either in written or verbal form, or due to its simplicity, there are very low tendencies for incorrect responses from patients.
Measured: 4 weeks
Modified Ober's test using digital inclinometer
ITB tightness is elicited by this test and will be measured using digital inclinometer.The use of an inclinometer to measure hip adduction using both the Ober test and the modified Ober test appears to be a reliable method for the measurement of ITB flexibility. As described the test is performed as follows: The patient is made to lie laterally recumbent with the affected side uppermost. The affected lower limb was then brought into full extension by the examiner, with some abduction at the hip. In the Ober's test, the knee is flexed at this moment during the test, while in the Modified Ober's test, the knee is left extended. The examiner then slowly releases support of the limb, allowing the limb to fall into adduction past the neutral position. This constitutes a normal or negative test. A tight ITB restricts adduction and prevents the knee from falling past the neutral position. This constitutes a positive test for ITB tightness
Measured: 4 weeks
Noble's Compression test:
The test is performed as follows: The patient is made to lie supine with the affected knee flexed to 90 degrees. Pressure is placed over the proximal part of the lateral femoral condyle. The knee was then gradually extended, and at 30 to 40 degrees, if the patient complained of a similar pain to that experienced while running, then the test was positive for ITBS
Measured: 4 weeks
ITB Questionnaire
The effect on participants' running performance will be measured using the ITB Questionnaire. The ITB Questionnaire was designed by the author of the study (Wood, 1997) for the measurement of patient disability specifically for ITBS.
Measured: 4 weeks
The Daily Exercise Diary
The Daily Exercise Diary will be used to monitor participant compliance and ability to perform the exercises. The Daily Exercise Diary was designed by the author of the study (Wood, 1997) for the measurement of patient disability specifically for ITBS.
Measured: 4 weeks
