Abstract Summary
The aim of this study was to investigate the site- and joint angle- dependence in the elastic properties of the iliotibial band (ITB). The stiffness of ITB was measured on five sites of the right lower limb with nine combinations of hip and knee joint angles using ultrasound shear wave elastography (SWE). ITB became stiffer as hip extended and knee flexed. ITB showed different stiffness over the sites.
