Search Strategy[edit | edit source]

Use the PubMed database. Use keywords “Noble AND iliotibial band”, and set limits: “link to free full text”. You’ll have two article results: “Changes in low back pain in a long distance runner after stretching the iliotibial band.” and “The treatment of iliotibial band friction syndrome”.
To find more articles you can use “google scholar” for scientific articles. Use the keywords “Noble test AND iliotibial band AND evidence based”. You’ll come up with those articles: “Evidence Based Treatment for Iliotibial Band Friction Syndrome” and “Clinical testing for extra-articular lateral knee pain. A modification and combination of traditional tests”.

Definition/Description[edit | edit source]

The Noble’s test is a provocative test of the iliotibial band, developed by Clive Noble. It is commonly used as an indication for iliotibial band syndrome; however no evidence-based research has been done yet to control the validity of this test. Other tests that could be used are the modified Ober’s test and the Renne Creak test. Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; name cannot be a simple integer.
