Background and Objectives: The study was carried out to find out the effect of hip abductor strengthening among non-professional cyclists with iliotibial band friction syndrome.
Subjects: 40 non-professional cyclists with ipsilateral ITBFS subject including male and female age between 18 to 50 with positive ober’s and nobble test were included in this study.
Methods: 40 subject were selected according to the inclusion criteria and they were assessed pre and post for ROM (hip adduction, IR), hip abductor strength and pain using goniometer,sphygmomanometer and VAS. Subject were assign experimental group(group A 20 subject) who received IT band stretching,US,and hip abductor strengthening exercise and control group (group B 20 subject) who received same treatment except hip abductor strengthening.
Data Analysis and Results: Based on statistical analysis using Wilcoxon test to compare the pre and post test pain in both group,Mann- whitney U- test to compare the post test pain scores of between groups ,Paired t - test to compare the pre and post ROM and strength in both groups, Unpaired t – test to compare post test ROM in between groups showed that pre post difference within group A there was significant difference for adduction ROM (p value <.0001),IR (p value <.0001),VAS(p value <.0001),and strength improve pre mean 40.80 to post mean 66.30 (p value <.0001).However in group B adduction ROM and VAS were found to be significant.
In comparision in difference between groups it was found that adduction ROM,IR ROM,VAS and strength all were significant. Baseline data for outcome variable were not statistically significant.
Conclusion: Based on outcome variable there was significant difference of hip abductor strengthening among non-professional cyclist with iliotibial band friction syndrome.
