Noble's Test | Noble Compression Test | ITBS \/ Runner's Knee Assessment<\/h2>\nNoble's Test also known as Noble Compression Test is an orthopedic test for iliotibial band syndrome (ITBS) aka Runner's Knee. ITBS is a common overuse injury typically seen in endurance athletes such as runners or cyclists and is thought to be caused by friction of the distal iliotibial band against the lateral femoral condyle, compression of the fat pad, and connective tissue deep to it, or inflammation of the bursa. A systematic review by van der Worp et al. (2012)<\/a> reports that there is limited or conflicting evidence whether hip abductor weakness has a major role in causing these irritations though the kinetics and kinematics of the hip knee and or ankle and foot appear to be different in runners with ITBS compared to those without.\n\nITBS is usually diagnosed based on history taking and clinical presentation. The Noble compression test has not been subject to diagnostic accuracy studies which are why the clinical value remains questionable.\n

At 30 flexion the patient will complain of severe pain over the lateral epicondyle and describe the pain as having the same quality as that experienced when running. This is due to the fact that the ITB will move over the lateral femoral condyles at that angle.\n\n[cta]\n\nAnother common test for ITBS is Renne's Test<\/a>.
