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.

Lattisimus dorsi, tensor fascia lata, the three glutei, rectus femoris, sartorios etc
One of them is the tensor fascia lata.
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.
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.
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.
A combination of muscle energy techniques (MET), stretches, and neuromuscular therapy to their hip flexors; iliopsoas, tensor fascia lata, and rectus femoris muscles should be helpful. In addition, encourage them to do strength training exercises for their core muscles, the abdominals.
none do directly, but the quadriceps (rectus femoris, vastus medialis, vastus lateralis and vastus intermedius) do via the patella and patella tendon. anterior tibialis ORIGINATES partly from near the tibial tuberosity hope this helps
The proper term is downwardly tilting the pelvis is anterior tilt, or more properly called anteversion. The muscles that would contribute to this movement would be any of the hip flexors. A partial list would include: iliacus, iliopsoas, psoas major & minor, rectus femoris, tensor fascia lata, sartorius, pectinius, and some others.
fascia lata graft
Biceps Brachii crosses both the Glenohumeral and Trochleoginglymoid joints. Sartorius crosses both the hip joint and knee. Others include tensor fascia lata, rectus femoris, semimembranosus, semitendinosus, biceps femoris, flexors of the forearm cross multiple joints as do the extensors. There are many others.
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).
