简要总结
The goal of this clinical trial is to find the effect of integrated neuromuscular inhibition technique for iliotibial band in iliotibial band friction syndrome on pain intensity level, pressure pain threshold, knee range of motion, knee function and knee angle . The main questions it aims to answer are:
- Is there an effect of integrated neuromuscular inhibition technique for iliotibial band on pain intensity level in iliotibial band friction syndrome?
- Is there an effect of integrated neuromuscular inhibition technique for iliotibial band on pressure pain threshold in iliotibial band friction syndrome?
- Is there an effect of integrated neuromuscular inhibition technique for iliotibial band on knee range of motion in iliotibial band friction syndrome?
- Is there an effect of integrated neuromuscular inhibition technique for iliotibial band on knee function in iliotibial friction syndrome? Is there an effect of integrated neuromuscular inhibition technique for iliotibial band on knee angle in iliotibial band friction syndrome?
Researchers will compare integrated neuromuscular inhibition technique to conventional physiotherapy to see if integrated neuromuscular inhibition technique works to treat iliotibial band syndrome.
Participants will:
- Take sessions for 2 weeks
- Visit the department 3 times per week

结局指标
主要结局
Pain intensity
时间窗: after 2 weeks
The Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) was used to evaluate pain severity. It is a self-reported pain measurement scale, consisting of a horizontal or vertical line, usually 10 cm long. The extremes of the line are labeled as no pain and worst pain. Each subject was asked to mark the point on the line that exactly corresponded to his/her pain
Knee range of motion
时间窗: after 2 weeks
Digital goniometer: A goniometer is a device that measures an angle or permits the rotation of an object to a definite position .To measure knee joint ROM goniometer was lined up with the lateral side of femur with the proximal arm between trochanter major and the middle of the lateral joint space of the knee and the distal arm between the middle of the lateral joint space of the knee and the lateral malleoli
lower extremity function
时间窗: after 2 weeks
Lower extremity functional scale (LEFS): LEFS is a questionnaire containing 20 items assessing the lower extremity function based on the intensity of the related activities' performance. This scoring system is designed based on the five-score Likert scale ranging from zero as the worst condition to four as without bothersome. This scale scores from zero to eighty and the higher score represent a better condition. LEFS-Arabic version will be used to quantify activity limitation in Arabic-speaking individuals with lower extremity musculoskeletal disorders
次要结局
- knee angle(after 2 weeks)
- pressure pain threshold(after 2 weeks)
