Search this site Cold Therapy Rehabilitation Stretching Sports Massage ... Strengthening Runners Knee (Inflammation of the Illio-tibial band -ITB) What is Runners Knee? The Illio-tibial band runs down the outside of the thigh. If this becomes tight the tendon starts to rub on the bone at the knee. Eventually this will become inflamed until running becomes very painful. If you rest, the inflammation dies down but when you start to run again, because the band is tight the tendon will once again become inflamed. Any treatment must be done in conjunction with stretching of the ITB.Sports massage can be particularly helpful for this condition. What can the athlete do: If there is swelling apply R.I.C.E Rest (you may be able to work your upper body) Stretch the Iliotibial band. Failure to stretch the Iliotibial band properly is highly likely to result in a reoccurence of the injury when returning to training. The inflammation will settle down only to return due to friction between the tight Iliotibial band and the bone underneath. See a sports injury specialist who can advise on treatment and rehabilitation including self massage techniques. Sports massage can help to really iron out any tight knots, lumps and bumps in the Iliotibial band causing it to shorten.

The knee pain is worst after sitting for a prolonged period of time or when getting out of a chair. The knee cartilage is affected probably from overuse, trauma and/or abnormal forces on the knee, such as a misaligned patella. Chondromalacia is treated with rest or immobilization and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs for pain. Physical therapy, especially quadriceps strengthening and hamstring stretching may also be helpful. Surgery is beneficial if there is a problem with the alignment of the patella that cannot be corrected with therapy. Update Date: 12/11/2001 Updated by: A.D.A.M.

Home Risk Free Trial About SDO's Foot Scans ... Reviews Runner's Knee (Chondromalacia Patella) Runners Knee refers to pain primarily on the inside of the knee, or beneath the kneecap can also occur. It is more commonly seen in runners as opposed to walkers due to high level of activity, particularly mileage. The key element in this injury is due to overpronation resulting in poor tracking of the patella causing a repeated stress of the bone moving abnormally from side to side over the groove of the thigh bone (femur), gradually softening the cartilage under the kneecap. The result is the surface of the joint can become rough. Pain may be just a prelude to further destruction of the surface (traumatic arthritis). This injury can be confused with "Patella tendonitis" which is usually pain beneath the patella bone. In either case it is the "tracking" of either the bone or tendon which needs to be addressed. Other causes of this injury can be: Weak quads Muscle imbalance Direct or repeated trauma An untreated ligament injury Running on a banked surface (similar to ITB Syndrome History of trauma To treat: Decrease activity Rest if pain and swelling Ice (for 15-20 minutes) Aspirin or Ibuprofen Physiotherapy Silicone Dynamic Orthotics minimizes overpronation of the arch and lateral motion at the knee, allowing for more efficient

Runners Knee: The Number One Injury Effecting The Runner by John W. Zandler, D.C., C.C.S.P. In the classification of athletic-running injuries two main categories exist. The first, referred to as over use injuries, comprise approximately 95% of all athletic injuries and are the result of the body's inability to accommodate physical demands placed upon it by one's training/competition thus resulting in over strain of the body's muscles, ligaments and tendons. These injuries in contrast to traumatic injuries are the result of repeated insult-stress to the body's tissues where as traumatic injuries are due to one traumatic incident (i.e. spraining one's ankle due to stepping off a curb). Due to the prevalence of over use injuries, this article will briefly review common injuries specific to running as well, common factors predisposing one to such injury. Additionally, future articles in the Columbus Roadrunner Newsletter will highlight various running injuries and common precipitating factors of such injuries as well as, prevention treatment methods. In researching 10,271 athletic injuries treated by a large sports medicine facility running accounted for the largest percentage (37%) of injuries treated. Upon further review of such running injuries, the knee joint was the most commonly involved part of the body. Furthermore, it was found that training errors including a sudden change in training, endurance/intensity, or miles was the most common factor precipitating over use injuries thus resulting in time off from training. Additional factors of injury include structural-anatomical problems resulting in altered body biomechanics and over use of the knee joints, muscles, ligaments and bony elements. Thus, due to the prevalence of knee injuries, the following article will focus on common injuries affecting the knee joint.

Runner's Knee The condition known as runner's knee is known medically as 'Chondromalacia of the patella'. This basically means softening of the cartilage of the kneecap. Cartilage does not have the same blood supply as bone. It relies on compression to squeeze out waste products and then allow nutrients to enter from the synovial fluid in the joint. Certain bio-mechanical conditions (old injuries or pronation etc) may lead to a mistracking of the knee cap during running, causing too little or too much of the compression required for waste removal and nutrition. This can then lead to cartilage deterioration, usually on the inner part of the knee cap. The symptoms of runners knee include pain near the kneecap, usually at the inner portion and below. Pain is often felt when sitting for long periods with the knees bent. Running downhill and sometimes just walking downstairs can lead to pain. Treatment of Runner's knee. At an early stage running should be decreased in order to lessen the stress to the affected area and allow healing to begin. Running downhill and all bent knee exercises should be avoided.

Pribut, DPM Description: The knee is a complex joint. It includes the articulation between the tibia and femur (leg and thigh) and the patella (knee cap). The most common knee problems in running relate to what is called the "patellofemoral complex". This consists of the quadriceps, knee cap and patellar tendon. What is now called patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS) is also known as runner's knee. For many years runner's knee was considered to be chondromalacia of the patella.

Dr. Stephen M. Pribut's Sport Pages Sports Medicine Home Chess Shoes Comprehensive Site Listing ... Home Page Sports Injuries: Posterior Tibial Tendon Problems Achilles Tendonitis Achilles Tendon Ruptures Runner's Knee ... Selecting a Sports Physician Posterior Tibial Tendon Problems Anatomy The posterior tibial muscle is invested within a synovial lined tendon sheath. Inflammation occurring here may result in a true tenosyovitis (as opposed to tendinitis, occurring at the achilles tendon). Inflammation that occurs at the origin of this muscle may result in medial shin splints. Examination will reveal the posterior medial aspect of the tibia to be tender. The flexor hallucis longus is also frequently involved. This is the muscle that originates in the lower third of the tibia and the tendon also runs behind the medial malleolus to the bones of the great toe. Its functions at the ankle and subtalar joint are similar to that of the posterior tibial tendon. Treatment of problems of the posterior tibial muscle and tendon Since the cause of many problems occurring in this area is pronation of the foot at the subtalar joint the remedy is control of pronation at this area. Make sure that your shoes are not excessively worn. Check the heel counter to make sure that it is not caveing in medially (towards the inside of your foot and leg). Avoid overtraining and cut back on your current mileage. Calf or Achilles stretches should also be done. If excessive pronation can not be controlled by a supportive shoe than orthotics will probably be necessary. Over the counter orthotics may be tried, but in resistant cases, custom orthotics will be necessary. To control the immediate effects of the inflammation iceing may be used, anti-inflammatory medicines such as advil or alev may be helpful, and physical therapy - ultrasound and possibly galvanic (electrical stimulation) will help.

Though it took me a couple of weeks to get physically used to it, my two and a half hour bicycle rides into the countryside were fun. Then there was the hard session. A hill which took just over five minutes to ride upat full bore. I bicycled at 85-90 percent maximum heartrate, deep into the buffering level of anaerobic threshold. Bicycling is a great form of resistance training, of cross training. Mile repeats on the grass were a joy on my return to running. My resistance training sessions of cross training on the bike had retained good fitness base...from which solid run training proceeded.

What is runner's knee? What is runners knee? If you are a runner you might have experienced the condition called runner's knee. Learn what it is and how it is treated! If you are a runner you might have experienced the condition called runner's knee. But, as with tennis elbow, running is not the only reason you might experience this condition. In the normal human body the kneecap, which is also known as the patella, will move up or down slightly without touching the femur or thighbone when a person is running. This is because the impact of the body weight is evenly distributed on the foot. But in cases where the foot rolls inward the kneecap is pulled inward. When this occurs the quadricep muscles will naturally pull the kneecap outward. These two opposing forces will cause the kneecap to rub against the thighbone which results in the diagnosis of runner's knee. bodyOffer(18228) Runner's knee, which is also known as patello-femoral stress syndrome, will eventually go away if the person who is affected refrains from running until it can be done without pain. During this time other exercises that are not painful can be continued. Some of the better exercises that are acceptable during this time might include swimming, rowing and bike riding, but only if no pain is present. It is also very important during this time to do exercises that will stretch the muscles in the hamstring and quadriceps or front of the thighs. This will help to strengthen the vastus medialis, which is the inner thigh muscle that pulls the kneecap inward. Using arch supports in both work out shoes and street shoes has also been known to help. If possible have the shoe supports custom made to help correct this condition.

common knee injuries, knee injuries symptoms, runners knee, iliotibial band syndrome (ITBS), knee injuries treatments Common knee injuries and runners knee - Do your knees sometimes give you the blues? If so, you're in good company: common knee injuries are the curse of many athletes, especially runners. For instance, about 60 per cent of all runners are injured in an average year, and about one-third of those misfortunes occur at the knee, producing a yearly knee injury rate of one in five runners ('Running Injuries to the Knee,' Journal of the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons, vol. 3, pp. 309-318, 1995). If your knee injury pain is lateral (on the outside edge of a knee), then it's likely that you are suffering from one of the most common knee complaints - iliotibial band syndrome (ITBS). As you may have learned the hard way, ITBS may aggrieve your knee enough to drastically limit or even completely stop your training. Iliotibial band syndrome has been around since man (and woman) first learned to run, but it wasn't actually described in the medical literature until 1975 (Sports Injuries and Their Treatment, p. 56, J. B. Lippincott Publishers, Philadelphia, 1975). The syndrome is often labelled an 'overuse' injury, but that's a very poor way to describe the origin of the problem, since it implies that the main source of difficulty is excess mileage. The truth is that runners can be afflicted with ITBS on a regime of just five to 10 miles per week, even though such volume would hardly constitute overtraining. The key source of iliotibial band syndrome disorders is actually a lack of strength and flexibility in the iliotibial band, sometimes combined with a perverse fondness for running either on the track or on crowned roads, as you'll see in a moment.

You may strengthen and stretch certain muscles to influence the tracking of your knee cap. The inside muscle of the quadriceps is the vastus medialis. This is activated when your knee is tightened in the straight position. That is why straight leg raising with Leg weights are very beneficial for Chondromalacia. Strengthening through a bending position activates the larger, lateral muscle of the quadriceps, when this muscle is strong it further pulls the knee cap more laterally, thus further aggravating the condition. There is more compression to the knee cap the further you bend, therefore deep squatting is not advisable. If the lateral hip muscles are tight, they will have an affect on the knee cap. So stretch the hip and hamstrings. Poor foot mechanics such as excessive foot pronation will adversely affect the position of the knee cap. Goode Wraps provide the muscle relaxation to properly stretch the muscles and relieve runners knee.

The act of jumping, especially, puts a great deal of stress on the patellar tendon, which attaches to the bottom of your kneecap. The force of hitting the ground repeatedly could cause the tendon to become inflamed and even begin to tear. Iliotibial band syndrome (runner's knee) is usually felt in the front of the knee just below the kneecap and may be felt during or after vigorous running or jumping. You may also experience discomfort when you sit down and extend your leg straight out. However, if you have had symptoms for a long time, crutches and medications may be in order.
