“…The width of each ITB region was measured while placing tension on the inserting muscle and visually assessing ITB strain. We used an elastic modulus of 400 MPa, which is consistent with values reported in the literature (Butler et al, 1984;Derwin et al, 2008;Hammer et al, 2012;Steinke et al, 2012). Below 4% strain, in the toe region, we decreased stiffness by a factor of 2/3.…”

“…This simplification may potentially have caused drying effects (Chimich et al, 1992;Thornton et al, 2001). Second, it cannot be excluded that parts of the samples were altered chemically by the color coating to the effect that the strain data were altered (Fung and Sobin, 1981;Hofecker et al, 1972;Steinke et al, 2012). However, these systematic errors were introduced both to the partially plastinated and the non-plastinated samples in our setup.…”

“…However, these techniques have limitations concerning a quantitative description of the measurement error introduced by material slippage. The partial plastination technique is an alternative technique that was optimized for testing thin connective tissues Steinke et al, 2012). In these previous studies, the slippage-minimizing potential was only described qualitatively .…”

“…We used an elastic modulus (E) of 400 MPa, which is consistent with values of 369-398 MPa reported in the literature for the human ITB (Butler et al, 1984;Derwin et al, 2008;Hammer et al, 2012;Steinke et al, 2012). Above a transition strain of 3%, we assumed a linear relationship between force and strain with a normalized stiffness ðkÞ determined using the elastic modulus (E), the muscle F max , and the effective cross-sectional area of the FL (a):…”

This study examines whether the human iliotibial band (ITB) is specialized for elastic energy storage relative to the chimpanzee fascia lata (FL). To quantify the energy storage potential of these structures, we created computer models of human and chimpanzee lower limbs based on detailed anatomical dissections. We characterized the geometry and force-length properties of the FL, tensor fascia lata (TFL) and gluteus maximus (GMax) in four chimpanzee cadavers based on measurements of muscle architecture and moment arms about the hip and knee. We used the chimp model to estimate the forces and corresponding strains in the chimp FL during bipedal walking, and compared these data with analogous estimates from a model of the human ITB, accounting for differences in body mass and lower extremity posture. We estimate that the human ITB stores 15-to 20-times more elastic energy per unit body mass and stride than the chimp FL during bipedal walking. Because chimps walk with persistent hip flexion, the TFL and portions of GMax that insert on the FL undergo smaller excursions (origin to insertion) than muscles that insert on the human ITB. Also, because a smaller fraction of GMax inserts on the chimp FL than on the human ITB, and thus its mass-normalized physiological cross-sectional area is about three times less in chimps, the chimp FL probably transmits smaller muscle forces. These data provide new evidence that the human ITB is anatomically derived compared with the chimp FL and potentially contributes to locomotor economy during bipedal locomotion.
