Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The tensor fasciae latae (TFL) is a muscle of the thigh that helps to stabilize and move the hip and knee. It primarily functions in hip abduction, medial rotation of the thigh, and stabilization of the pelvis. Eccentrically, it can help to control or slow down the opposite movements, such as adduction of the thigh at the hip joint, which is why option A is correct.
