Abstract
Summary Introduction and aim. Iliotibial band syndrome is often found in people involved in different sports. According to medical literature, it is most commonly found in runners. The aim of this paper is to cover a mode of rehabilitation for patients with iliotibial band syndrome. Material and methods. The most common cause is the conflict between iliotibial tract and lateral epicondyle of femur. The syndrome found in athletes is a result of an improper training program. Results. The mode of rehabilitation should be applied on the basis of patient’s functional state and the progression of the disease. The basis of treatment consists of kinesiotherapy with loosening and stretching exercises for shortened muscles and enhancement exercises for weakened muscle groups. Additional physical procedures include cryotherapy, phonophoresis, iontophoresis and ultrasounds. Other treatment methods include deep tissue massage and kinesiotaping. Conclusions. During the rehabilitation patients should be educated about the prevention of iliotibial tract overloads.
