Thickening in the ITB adjacent to the lateral femoral epicondyle has been reported. The values of ITB thickness at the lateral femoral epicondyle in healthy adult volunteers were determined, and the association between the thickness of the ITB and the subjects\u2019 age, weight, height, dominant limb and the volume of training or sporting activity was assessed.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>An Ultrasound Scan (high resolution 3\u20132\u00a0MHz transducer Voluson\u2010i G E Medical Systems, UK) was used to measure the thickness of the ITB in 38 healthy volunteers (30\u00a0men and 8 women, mean age 22.5 \u00b1 1.5 years, range 18\u201325 years).
