Distal attachment
Iliotibial band/tract (ITB) - a lateral thickening (superficial structure) of the fascia lata
* Extends from the ilium, descends all the way down to the tibia
Proximal attachment
Gluteus maximus
Distal attachment
Lateral intermuscular septum (IMS) of the thigh
Then attaches to the linea aspera of the femur
Medial rotation =
internal rotation
Lateral rotation =
external rotation
4 muscles that are considered content of the pelvis (either true or false)
iliacus, psoas major (iliopsoas), piriformis, obturator internus
Superficial muscles of the gluteal region
Extensors, abductors and medial rotators of the hip
* Iliotibial tract (not a muscle, but is a superficial structure)

* Gluteus maximus
* Gluteus medius
