Treatments tested in this trial

Individualized Exercise Program
Behavioral
The individualized exercise program involves an initial 2D individual running evaluation designed for runners of all ages and abilities, to help improve performance and prevent injury. During the assessment patients receive a one-on-one evaluation with an exercise physiologist that includes: * Running analysis; * Training program review; * Strength and flexibility assessment; * Review of running video; * Personalized final report.
Standard Physical Therapy
Behavioral
Standard of care physical therapy for ITB band syndrome involves exercises designed to target structural weaknesses such as hip abductor weakness. Typical exercises include but are not limited to hip flexor stretches, side lying hip abduction, figure 4 bridges, lateral walks with exercise bands, and side planks.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score Physical Short-Form (KOOS-PS) Score

The KOOS-PS4 contains seven items: rising from bed, putting on socks/stockings, rising from sitting, bending to floor, twisting/pivoting on your injured knee, kneeling and squatting. Participants indicate the degree of difficulty they face in performing the items, from "none" to "extreme." A final global score, from 0 (no problems) to 100 (extreme problems), is produced for the scale. Lower scores indicate greater physical function.

Time frame

Month 6

Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) Score

Pain is rated on a 10-point scale, from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst possible pain). The total score is the response; lower scores indicate less pain.
