Knee Injuries in Runners

Abstract Knee injuries are likely most commonly seen in runners. Patellofemoral pain syndrome, iliotibial band syndrome, and patellar tendinopathy are three very commonly encountered conditions that make up the majority of knee-related running injuries. In addition to accurately diagnosing the injury, a careful assessment of the runner's biomechanics along the kinetic chain is key to resolving the problem and preventing future injuries. The vast majority of treatment for running-related knee injuries revolves around appropriate rehabilitation.
