Selected studies which met the specified inclusion criteria were then analysed to answer the research question, i.e. whether it is efficacious to use running gait retraining only to treat runners with iliotibial band syndrome. Results: Only 1 study met the inclusion criteria (an experimental case study), the results of which suggest that running gait retraining used as a unimodal physiotherapy intervention in the treatment of the runners' iliotibial band syndrome might be an efficacious therapeutic approach. Considering the low-level evidence of the included study, however, the results cannot be generalized. In the future, the efficacy of this treatment approach needs to be evaluated on the basis of a larger scale research of a...
