The Ober's test evaluates a tight, contracted or inflamed Tensor Fasciae Latae (TFL) and Iliotibial band (ITB). Noble’s test and the Renne test are two other tests that are commonly used to detect iliotibial band syndrome .

What Is Tensor Fascia Latae And What Is The Iliotibial Band? If you stand, walk, or run, the tensor fascia latae and iliotibial band (IT band) are critical structures for making that possible.

The Ober's test evaluates a tight, contracted or inflamed Tensor Fasciae Latae (TFL) and Iliotibial band (ITB). The Ober’s test must not be confounded with Noble’s test and the Renne test , two other tests that are commonly used to detect iliotibial band syndrome .

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 ITB runs along the lateral thigh and serves as an important structure involved in lower extremity motion.

2015年10月11日 · The Tensor Fascia Latae ( also spelled Tensor Fasciae Latae or Tensor Fascia Lata, but commonly referred to as the TFL ) is a small muscle that lies just in front of the hip joint. It has a very long tendon, called the iliotibial tract or IT Band, that travels all the way down the outside of the thigh to attach just under the knee joint.

Based on the lack of prospective studies and no clear relationship between hip abduction strength and ITBS, we believe that pain caused by the distal compression of the highly innervated tissues deep in the ITB in runners with ITBS may inhibit the proximal hip musculature, namely the TFL and gluteus maximus, in an adaptive strategy to reduce ...

The present article will review the normal anatomy of the TFL, ITB and emphasize the pathologies affecting TFL which present as other, more commonly associated conditions of the region. An Algorithm to assess patients with suspected pathological conditions affecting Tensor Fasciae Latae muscle is highlighted.

TFL is a muscle that has a complex anatomical arrangement with the ITB, and it performs various functional roles – not only in producing hip movement, but also imparting fascial tension through the fascia latae of the thigh and the specialised ITB.

The complexity of understanding the mechanical function of the ITB is due, in part, to the presence of its two in-series muscles: gluteus maximus (GMAX) and tensor fascia latae (TFL). At present, we lack a fundamental understanding of how GMAX and TFL transmit force through the ITB and what mechanical role the ITB plays for movements like ...

What Causes IT Band Tightness? Functionally, the tensor fasciae latae (TFL) combined with the glute max puts the most tension on the IT band. The thing with the TFL is it’s often implicated in IT band syndrome. It has trigger points, and many people feel discomfort right in the front of the hip.
