Brief Summary

this study will be conducted to investigate the effects of radial extracorporeal shockwave therapy on ultrasonography changes, pain intensity, pain pressure threshold and lower limb function in patient with iliotibial band syndrome

Conditions

Iliotibial Band Syndrome

Keywords

iliotibial band syndrome; Radial Extracorporeal Shockwave; ultrasonography changes

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• iliotibial band thickness

  ultrasonography device will be used to assess iliotibial band thickness

  up to six weeks

Secondary Outcomes (3)

• pain intensity

  up to six weeks

• pressure pain threshold

  up to six weeks

• lower extremity function

  up to six weeks

Study Arms (2)

Radial Extracorporeal Shockwave

EXPERIMENTAL

thirty patients with iliotibial band syndrome will receive Radial Extracorporeal Shockwave and traditional therapy three times a week for six weeks.

Other: Radial Extracorporeal Shockwave; Other: traditional therapy

traditional therapy

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Thirty patients with iliotibial band syndrome will receive traditional therapy three times a week for six weeks.

Other: traditional therapy

Interventions

Radial Extracorporeal Shockwave OTHER

Treatment procedure will be initiated by palpation to locate the painful area around the lateral femoral condyle and the lateral side of the thigh. The therapist uses the principle of clinical focusing where the patient guides the therapist to the most painful area. The area will be treated in a circumferential pattern, starting at the point of maximum pain. At each of the session a total of 4600 pulses will be applied. RESWT will start with 500 pulses at (2 Bar) with the frequency of 15 Hz to the lateral femoral condyle to adjust to treatment.An additional 2000 pulses will be applied at (2- 4 Bar), 15 Hz, depending on pain tolerance. in addition,stretching exercise, manual therapy, and ultrasound on the iliotibial band.

Radial Extracorporeal Shockwave

traditional therapy OTHER

the patients will receive traditional therapy in the form of stretching exercise, manual therapy and ultrasound on iliotibial band.
