Purpose[edit | edit source]
Renne's test is a provocative test for iliotibial band syndrome (ITB). It is one of the three special tests for ITB friction syndrome. Renne's test was developed in 1975 to test for ITB friction syndrome.
Clinical Relevant Anatomy[edit | edit source]
Technique[edit | edit source]
To begin this test, the patient should stand on the affected leg. The examinator stands in front of the patient's knee and places the thumb on the lateral epicondyle of the involved knee. Then, have the patient do the squat until the knee is in 30 to 40 degrees of flexion. The examiner maintains pressure with the thumb on lateral epicondyle. As the leg is flexed, the pain will be increased over the lateral femoral epicondyle, creating a positive result[1].
.
Patient can support his bodyweight on the envolved foot and flexed the knee as performing a squat.
If pain is present with the knee in 30° flexion ilio tibial band syndrome is indicated.[2][3]
