  2. Tensor fasciae latae muscle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tensor_fasciae_latae_muscle

    The basic functional movement of tensor fasciae latae is walking. The tensor fasciae latae is heavily utilized in horse riding, hurdling, and water skiing. Some problems that arise when this muscle is tight or shortened are pelvic imbalances that lead to pain in the hips, as well as pain in the lower back and lateral area of knees. [3]

  3. Snapping hip syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snapping_hip_syndrome

    The more common lateral extra-articular type of snapping hip syndrome occurs when the iliotibial band, tensor fasciae latae, or gluteus medius tendon slides back and forth across the greater trochanter. This normal action becomes a snapping hip syndrome when one of these connective tissue bands thickens and catches with motion.

  4. Iliotibial band syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iliotibial_band_syndrome

    Iliotibial band syndrome is one of the leading causes of lateral knee pain in runners. The iliotibial band is a thick band of fascia composing the tendon of the tensor fasciae latae muscle. It is located on the lateral aspect of the knee, extending from the outside of the pelvis, over the hip and knee, and inserting just below the knee.

    Plan of sacral and pudendal plexuses. (Superior gluteal labeled at upper left.) The superior gluteal nerve is a mixed (motor and sensory) nerve of the sacral plexus that originates in the pelvis. It provides motor innervation to the gluteus medius, gluteus minimus, tensor fasciae latae, and piriformis muscles; it also has a cutaneous branch.

  9. Fascia lata - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fascia_lata

    The fascia lata is an investment for the whole of the thigh, but varies in thickness in different parts. It is thicker in the upper and lateral part of the thigh, where it receives a fibrous expansion from the gluteus maximus, and where the tensor fasciae latae is inserted between its layers; it is very thin behind and at the upper and medial part, where it covers the adductor muscles, and ...
