INJURY:<br />

IT Band Syndrome (noun): an injury that<br />

is marked by pain on the side of the knee<br />

and results from inflammation of the<br />

IT Band due to overuse (as in long-distance<br />

running) as it compresses across the side<br />

condyle of the knee when flexed and<br />

extended repeatedly.<br />

SIGNS & SYMPTOMS:<br />

IT Band<br />

• Runners report a sharp burning pain on<br />

the outside of their knee during their run.<br />

• The pain occurs when the knee is at<br />

30 degrees of flexion due to the lower<br />

leg rotating inward causing the IT Band to<br />

repeatedly compress against the side of<br />

the knee.<br />

SOLUTION:<br />

RK-1 Knee Brace<br />
