2. Snapping hip syndrome - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snapping_hip_syndrome

   In some cases, an audible snapping or popping noise as the tendon at the hip flexor crease moves from flexion (knee toward waist) to extension (knee down and hip joint straightened). It can be painless. [2] After extended exercise, pain or discomfort may be present caused by inflammation of the iliopsoas bursae. [3]

3. Iliotibial tract - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iliotibial_tract

   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.

   Neural Stretching of the legs - Lying on the back, bring one leg up with a stretching band until a stretch is felt in the legs. Ensure your legs are straight. Once the stretch is felt, hold for 30–45 seconds and relax. Hip-flexor stretch - To stretch the right hip-flexor, bring the left leg forward, and kneel on the right knee. Push the ...

5. Iliotibial band syndrome - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iliotibial_band_syndrome

   Iliotibial band syndrome (ITBS) is the second most common knee injury, and is caused by inflammation located on the lateral aspect of the knee due to friction between the iliotibial band and the lateral epicondyle of the femur. [2] Pain is felt most commonly on the lateral aspect of the knee and is most intensive at 30 degrees of knee flexion. [2]

6. Closed kinetic chain exercises - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Closed_kinetic_chain_exercises

   Closed chain exercises are often compound movements, that generally incur compressive forces, while open-chain exercises are often isolation movements that promote more shearing forces. [ 1 ] CKC exercises involve more than one muscle group and joint simultaneously rather than concentrating solely on one, as many OKC exercises do (single-joint ...

7. Ober test - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ober_test

   The Ober test is used in physical examination to identify tightness of the iliotibial band (iliotibial band syndrome). During the test, the patient lies on his/her side with the unaffected leg on the bottom with their shoulder and pelvis in line. The lower hip and knee can be in a flexed position to take out any lordosis of the lumbar spine. [1]

8. Muscles of the hip - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muscles_of_the_hip

   The psoas is the primary hip flexor, assisted by the iliacus. The pectineus, the adductors longus, brevis, and magnus, as well as the tensor fasciae latae are also involved in flexion. The gluteus maximus is the main hip extensor, but the inferior portion of the adductor magnus also plays a role. The adductor group is responsible for hip adduction.

9. Tensor fasciae latae muscle - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tensor_fasciae_latae_muscle

   "Tensor fasciae latae" translates from Latin to English as "stretcher of the side band". "Tensor" is an agent noun that comes from the past participle stem "tens-" of the Latin verb "tendere", meaning "to stretch".
