A Prevalence of Iliotibial Band Syndrome Post Trek in Trekkers

This book delves into the prevalence of Iliotibial Band Syndrome (ITBS) among trekkers aged 18 to 25. ITBS, an overuse injury affecting the outer knee, is notably common in repetitive activities like trekking. Despite its impact, there is a significant lack of focused research on this topic. By addressing this gap, the study aims to enrich the scientific literature with data specific to this age group, providing a clearer picture of ITBS prevalence among young trekkers. Such prevalence studies are crucial for understanding the scope of the issue, informing preventive measures, and guiding future research. This book is an essential step towards a comprehensive understanding of ITBS, helping to bridge the knowledge gap and improve the management of this condition in active young adults.
