Iliotibial Band Syndrome

CMP can be caused by discrete trauma or by chronic trauma, such as by applying excessive force to the patella via exercises such as squats, leg presses, or plyometrics. Biomechanical abnormalities such as over pronation of the feet can also result in incongruity between the direction the patella is pulled by the quadriceps muscle and the shape of the patellofemoral groove through which it travels.
