- Abstract: Background: Iliotibial band syndrome (ITBS) is considered like the first cause of lateral knee pain in exercise and the second injury of knee pain in runners with a prevalence of around 16%. This scooping review helps us to better understand the physiopathology and so put in evidence some conservative treatment among those proposed. Methods: Studies of this scoping meet the eligibility criteria and come from DOAJ, EMBASE, GOOGLE SCHOLAR, LINK SPRINGER, MEDLINE/PUBMED, RESEARCH4LIFE, SCOPUS, COCHRANE, DIAL until January 2021. Results: A total of 155 physiopathology of ITBS studies were taken in the scoping review. The three most described physiopathologies were friction in 67 studies, compression in 41 studies and bursopathy in 30 studies. Furthermore, a total of 106 conservative treatment studies of ITBS were taken in the scoping review. The higher mentioned treatment categories were stretching in 80 studies, adjuvants therapies in 75 studies, general modification and physiotherapy in 68 studies, strengthening in 58 studies, manual therapy in 50 studies, gait and neuromuscular training in 29 studies, advice and education in 27 studies. Conclusion: Based on our results, the literature tends to cite more ITBS than studied it. The mystery around the physiopathology tends to gradually disappears with explosion of literature these last two decades even if original studies remain poor. Indeed, the biomechanical factors that are most commonly thought like a risk factor, is actually not one. The lower extremity anatomical measurements and 2D kinematics did not show any significant differences. Friction hypothesis was most studied and reported than compression and bursopathy hypothesis. That doesn’t necessarily mean it’s the correct assumption.
