is trochanter muscle same as iliotibial band
The iliotibial band also moves over the greater trochanter of the femur as one walks or runs. That is what you feel is the hip bone on the side of your pelvis. It is here that it is also prone to friction. The large trochanteric bursa is a cushion that lies between the iliotibial band and the greater trochanter.ecause it is not a muscle, it doesn't occur to people that it would need to be stretched. The IT band provides attachment for the gluteus maximus and tensor fascia lata for hip abduction and provides stability to the knee.
