A muscle of the thigh. The basic functional movement of tensor fascia latae is walking.
What is the name of the graft that is taken from the upper thigh area where the fascia is the thickest?
The graft taken from the upper thigh area where the fascia is the thickest is called a tensor fascia lata (TFL) graft. This graft is commonly used in ACL reconstruction surgery due to its strength and thickness.
Why tensor fascia lata muscle given this name?
The tensor fascia lata (TFL) muscle is named for its function and anatomical relationship. "Tensor" refers to its role in tensing the fascia, specifically the iliotibial band, which runs along the outer thigh. "Fascia lata" translates to "wide band," indicating the broad connective tissue that the muscle influences. Together, the name reflects both the muscle's action and its association with the surrounding fascia.
Is iliotibial band tissue fascia?

What is the deep fascia of the thigh muscles that enclose it like a stocking?
Fascia lataen close the thigh muscles like a stocking.
When the tensor fasciae latae contracts the thigh is what?
When the tensor fasciae latae contracts, it helps to stabilize the hip joint and assists in flexing, medially rotating, and abducting the thigh.
What muscle is unique in that its insertion is to fascia rather than to bone?
The tensor faciae latae It arises from the posterior part of the outer lip of the iliac crest; from the outer surface of the anterior superior iliac spine, and part of the outer border of the notch below it, between the gluteus medius and sartorius; and from the deep surface of the fascia lata. It is inserted between the two layers of the iliotibial band of the fascia lata about the junction of the middle and upper thirds of the thigh.
What is the muscle used to abduct the thigh to take the at ease stance?
Tensor fascias latae
What type of graft is often taken from the lower thigh area?
fascia lata graft
What is the fascia lata?
deep fascial insulator of thigh is called fascia lata. it is tightly fitting the thigh. it has many functions to perform: gives contour of the thigh. gives attachments to the muscles, gives intermuscular septae and divides the thigh into compartments, keeps muscles in position during their actions, it compresses the veins and lymph vessels and helps in their drainage.it is a funnel, broad above and narrow below. fascia is thickest on the lateral side to form the iliotibial tract. on t he medial side it is thinnest. near the knee it is stronger. asthe fascia lata is strong, it is used for daring the hernial openings(Gaile's operation).
Name an intended action of the primary muscle for the hanging leg raise?
While performing a hanging leg raise one of the intended actions of the primary muscle, the iliopsoas, is to flex the thigh and the trunk during the exercise. Other primary muscles include the rectus femoris, tensor fascia lata, and adductors.
What a thigh muscle moves?
The "glutes" including the gluteus maximus, gluteus medius, gluteus minimus, and the tensor fasciae latae
