It has been proposed that a tight iliotibial band (ITB) through its attachment of the lateral retinaculum into the patella could cause lateral patella tracking, patella tilt and compression. [7]

2023年5月25日 · The superficial and deep parts of the iliotibial tract surround the tensor fasciae latae muscle, anchoring the muscle to the ilium and providing an aponeurotic attachment for its distal aspect.

2017年3月6日 · While the iliotibial band does not have any boney attachments as it courses between the Gerdy tubercle and the lateral femoral epicondyle, this absence of attachment allows it to move anteriorly and posteriorly with knee flexion and extension.

When a person is leaning forwards with a slightly flexed knee, the tract is the knee's main support against gravity. Iliotibial band syndrome (ITBS or ITBFS, for iliotibial band friction syndrome) is a common thigh injury generally associated with running. It can also be caused by cycling or hiking.

2024年11月13日 · The iliotibial band (ITB) or tract is a thick band of fascia along the lateral aspect of the thigh. The ITB is a thickening in the fascia lata. Superiorly, it splits to enclose and anchor the aponeurosis of tensor fasciae latae and posteriorly most of the tendon of gluteus maximus 1.

2023年8月8日 · Distal anatomy: Proximal to the knee joint, the ITB attaches to the intermuscular septum and supracondylar tubercle of the femur. Proximal to the lateral epicondyle, there is an interposed fat layer between the ITB and the vastus lateralis. [8]

The ITB is generally viewed as a band of dense fibrous connective tissue that passes over the lateral femoral epicondyle and attaches to Gerdy's tubercle on the anterolateral aspect of the tibia. ITB friction syndrome is an overuse injury well recognized as a common cause of …

2025年1月25日 · Explore the anatomy and function of the iliotibial tract with Innerbody's interactive 3D model. The iliotibial tract, also known as the iliotibial band, is a thick strip of connective tissue connecting several muscles in the lateral thigh.

By identifying potential biomechanical causal factors of ITBS that are present in individuals who engage in high volumes of running, changes in training can be made to address and prevent further development of these factors to avoid experiencing …

The ITB facilitates the attachment of muscle (GMAX and TFL) to bone (pelvis, femur and tibia), and therefore it is likely to have tendon-like material properties, relevant for providing joint stability, but also potentially contributing to elastic energy storage and …
