Tensor Fasciae Latae (TFL) Anatomy: Origin, Insertion & Action

⭐ Tensor Fasciae Latae (TFL) Anatomy ⭐
💪 Origin: Anterior superior iliac spine (ASIS) and the anterior aspect of the iliac crest.
💪 Insertion: Fascia of the iliotibial tract. The iliotibial tract inserts onto the iliotibial tubercle (also known as Gerdy’s tubercle).
💪 Action: Stabilisation of the hip and knee, hip abduction, hip internal rotation, weak hip flexion, knee flexion past 30 degrees and lateral rotation of the tibia.
💪 Nerve: Superior gluteal nerve (L4, L5, S1).
💪 Artery: Deep branch of the superior gluteal artery.

THANK U!! im studying for my anatomy exam and your videos are so helpful, they make it much more easier to understand

[@dawbool9552]

I enjoy looking and learning from your videos. That's just what I was looking for. I would nevertheless like to point to one thing: the wall behind and the model of the human skeleton have the same white colour. The model doesn't contrast well with it's background, thus special attention is required from the viewer. Thanks for your very instructive and straightforward videos!

[@SarahMontana666]

Hi. Me again. Just want to let you know that as my class works through the muscles of the body, when I look up videos to help with memorization, if I see one of your videos available its the first one I'll watch. (And typically the only one as your content is very thorough). So thank you again.

[@BodyworksPrime]

Awesome! Thanks for the support. Glad my videos have been on help to you. Hope your studies are going well

[@FTCRW]

Thank you very much, I'm actually weight lifting and your anatomical content on the muscles many people ignore and not talk about (in bodybuilding and such) is very useful to me!

[@eso69]

Pretty good 😊💖

If possible can you please explain how does TFL contribute to Hip internal rotation.

[@BodyworksPrime]

The contribution of the TFL to internal rotation of the hip is mostly due to its orientation and positioning relative to the hip joint. The TFL is oriented anteriorly and laterally on the hip, so when it contracts, it can produce an internal rotation force at the hip joint. However, it isn't as strong at internal rotation as the gluteus medius, gluteus minimus, and the medial (adductor) compartment muscles of the thigh.

[@ajaytrendz6233]

@@BodyworksPrime Yeah, after asking that i went on searching for its orientation and understood it's anterior situation was the one helping it to contribute to weak internal rotation. But thank you for reaching out to answer ☺️ Best wishes for your channel ❤️
