The capacity of the human iliotibial band to store elastic energy during running
(Elsevier BV, 2015)The human iliotibial band (ITB) is a poorly understood fascial structure that may contribute to energy savings during locomotion. This study evaluated the capacity of the ITB to store and release elastic energy during ... -
The human iliotibial band is specialized for elastic energy storage compared with the chimp fascia lata
(The Company of Biologists, 2015)This study examines whether the human iliotibial band (ITB) is specialized for elastic energy storage relative to the chimpanzee fascialata (FL). To quantify the energy storage potential of these structures, we created ...
