- Both conditions are a type of repetitive strain injury from friction at either end of an important structure known as the iliotibial band. Because the common denominator in what causes injury is friction, both conditions are collectively referred to as iliotibial band friction syndrome. Runner's knee is the more common form of this syndrome.
