Tensor Fascia Latae (TFL) | Clinical Anatomy & Physiology

The video tutorial covers the tensor fascia lata (TfL) muscle, its anatomy, origin, insertion, actions, innervation, and blood supply. It highlights the clinical relevance of the TfL, particularly in relation to IT band syndrome, emphasizing the importance of targeting the muscle for effective treatment. The tutorial also explains the mechanics of running and the role of the TfL in hip and knee stabilization.
