A long, thin, strap-like muscle; runs diagonal over anterior thigh. O- anterior superior iliac spine I- medial tibial surface A- flexes leg, flexes & laterally rotates thigh
The iliotibial band is actually a thick tendon-like portion of another muscle called the tensor fasciae latae. This band passes down the outside of the thigh and inserts just below the knee. The diagram to the right shows the anterior (front) view of the right thigh muscles. If you look towards the top left of the diagram, youâll see the tensor fasciae latae muscle. Follow the tendon of this muscle down and youâll see that it runs all the way to the knee. This thick band of tendon is the iliotibial band.
