Inhoud

This PowerTalk will explore distal ITB pain, commonly seen in endurance athletes, in particular runners. Clinical assessment will look at the best ways to accurately assess and diagnose ITBS and discuss the use of imaging. Ways to assess athletic training load will be presented with real life examples.

Treatment tactics will be looked at for for different stages of recovery. How to rapidly settle an inflamed distal ITB will be presented and then relevant strength worl will be explored with specific exercise examples utilised. How to progress strength work and move into plyometric will be reviewed.

Prevention of recurrence will be covered including elements of running technique and correction including use of verbal cues and apps.
There will be a discussion on the pros/cons of steroid injection and surgery for these patients.
This  will be immediately applicable into clinical practice and case studies will be discussed to contextualise the content.
