Iliotibial band syndrome was diagnosed in 48 of 1030 runners treated for lower extremity musculoskeletal complaints. Most athletes had been running 20 to 40 miles a week for one year or longer and had significantly changed their distance, speed, terrain, surface, and/or shoes before the onset of symptoms. Symptoms often persisted for 2 to 6 months. All runners were treated conservatively with rest, stretching, reduced distance, anti-inflammatory medications, local cortisone injections and/or orthoses.
在1030名因下肢肌肉骨骼问题接受治疗的跑步者中，有48人被诊断为髂胫束综合征。大多数运动员每周跑20至40英里，持续一年或更长时间，并且在症状出现前显著改变了跑步的距离、速度、地形、路面和/或鞋子。症状通常持续2至6个月。所有跑步者均接受保守治疗，包括休息、拉伸、缩短跑步距离、服用抗炎药物、局部注射皮质类固醇和/或使用矫形器。
