This topic has sparked good debate.
I wouldn't spend too much time looking at your Gluteus Minimus. It is not a hugely powerful abductor or internal rotator and in hip flexion it doesn't do much at all. It does however contribute to hip joint stability.
ITB syndrome and anterior knee pain are the most common clinical presentations I see in the Cycle Clinic and have similar contributing factors. It's more common in runners due to the greater lateral loading, ground reaction forces and greater range of knee extension which tightens the ITB.
