The synergistic effect of tensor fasciae latae and gluteus maximus.
Introduction:
The tensor fasciae latae is one of the thigh muscles and it is associated with the gluteus maximus in function and structure. It extends with the iliotibial tract and connects with the tibia. The main function of this muscle is to keep the balance of the pelvis at the time of running, walking, or standing.
