“…The iliotibial band (ITB) is a band of connective tissue that begins at the anterior iliac tubercle portion of the iliac crest and inserts at the lateral tubercle of the tibia, known as Gerdy's tubercle [39,40]. Its related muscles function to allow extension, flexion, abduction, and medial rotation of the hip [39]. In addition, the ITB provides stability to the lateral knee during flexion and extension movements [39,40].…”

“…Internal tibial rotation can force the lateral condyle of the tibia to shift anteriorly, which will increase friction of the ITB as it is pulled more tightly over the condyle during dynamic motion. IBFS can cause lateral knee joint and thigh pain and inflammation [39][40][41][42]. Treatment for IBFS includes antiinflammatory medication, physical therapy, and arthroscopy [42].…”

“…Lateral tibial translation may also be due to ligamentous laxity. Internal tibial rotation may over-stretch supporting cruciate ligaments, effectively decreasing their ability to constrain tibial movements [38,39].…”

I would first like to thank my thesis supervisor, Dr. Neil Segal. Without his knowledge, patience, and guidance, none of the work I accomplished would have been possible. I would also like to thank the other members of my thesis committee, Drs. Don Anderson and Nicole Grosland for their guidance and suggestions with my work. The time required to review and provide suggestions to me was immense and I am grateful for all their help. I would like to thank the students and faculty members in the Orthopaedic Biomechanics Laboratory and Clinical Osteoarthritis Research Program for their help, advice, and support. Finally, I would like to thank my family and friends for their encouragement and support throughout my academic journey. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS LIST OF TABLES .
