The iliotibial band (ITB) is a thick band of fascia formed proximally at the hip by the fascia of the gluteus maximus, gluteus medius and tensor fasciae latae muscles. Its main functions are pelvic stabilisation and posture control.
The iliotibial tract or iliotibial band (ITB; also known as Maissiat's band or the IT band) is a longitudinal fibrous reinforcement of the fascia lata. The action of the muscles associated with the ITB (tensor fasciae latae and some fibers of gluteus maximus) flex, extend, abduct, and laterally and medially rotate the hip.
Iliotibial band syndrome is where a tendon called the iliotibial band gets irritated or swollen from rubbing against your hip or knee bones. It causes sharp pain.
The iliotibial band (IT band) is also known as the iliotibial tract or Maissiat’s band. It’s a long piece of connective tissue, or fascia, that runs along the outside of your leg from the hip...
The iliotibial tract (sometimes known as the iliotibial band or IT band) is a longitudinal thickening of the fascia lata, which is strengthened superoposteriorly by fibres from the gluteus maximus. It is located laterally in the thigh, extending from the iliac tubercle to the lateral tibial condyle.
The iliotibial tract, also known as the iliotibial band, is a thick strip of connective tissue connecting several muscles in the lateral thigh. It plays an important role in the movement of the thigh by connecting hip muscles to the tibia of the lower leg.
The iliotibial (IT) band is a thick band of connective tissue fibers (fascia) that runs along the outside of the thigh between the hip and the knee. Iliotibial band anatomy. Courtesy, Getty Images. The main function of the IT band is to help stabilize the hip and knee joint while walking or running. Description.
The iliotibial tract is a thick band of fascia that runs on the lateral side of the thigh from the iliac crest and inserts at the knee. It is composed of dense fibrous connective tissue that appears from the m. tensor fasciae latae and m. gluteus maximus.
The iliotibial tract (iliotibial band or bandelette of Maissiat) is a long, strong band of connective tissue that attaches the iliac crest to the tibia. It is a thickened region of the fascia lata and is found along the lateral aspect of the thigh.
The iliotibial tract, also known as Maissiat’s band or the iliotibial band, and its associated muscles function to extend, abduct, and laterally rotate the hip, as well as aid in the stabilization of the knee. A select group of associated injuries and pathologies of the iliotibial tract are seen as sequela of repetitive stress and direct trauma.
