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. The ITB contributes ...

2021年10月19日 · Iliotibial band syndrome is where a tendon called the iliotibial band gets irritated or swollen from rubbing against your hip or knee bones. The tendon is on the outside of your leg, and it goes from the top of your pelvic bone down to your knee.

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.

2023年5月25日 · The iliotibial tract is a thickened band of deep fascia that runs down the lateral surface of the thigh. It is formed from the deep fascia of the thigh, the fascia lata, and receives the distal aspects of the gluteus maximus and tensor fasciae latae muscles. The tract acts as an aponeurosis for these two muscles.

2023年8月8日 · The iliotibial band tract or IT band (ITB) is a longitudinal fibrous sheath that runs along the lateral thigh and serves as an important structure involved in lower extremity motion. The ITB is also sometimes known as Maissiat's band.

2018年8月18日 · What’s the IT band? 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...

2024年4月1日 · 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.

4 天之前 · 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 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 band (ITB) is a tough, fibrous fascial tissue that spans from the iliac crest to the lateral proximal tibia, and in its current evolutionary form has been associated with the erect posture of humans (Fig. 1) [1 – 4]. The various functional roles of the ITB seem to be dependent on posture, and thus activity choice [5 – 7].
