Question

5 multiple choice 1 point which of the following bony landmarks can be palpated by sliding your fingerpads inferiorly 4 - 6 inches along the lateral side of the thigh? ischial tuberosity iliotibial band greater trochanter lesser trochanter clear my selection

Explanation:

The iliotibial band is a thick band of connective tissue that runs along the lateral side of the thigh. Sliding fingerpads inferiorly 4 - 6 inches along the lateral thigh would palpate the iliotibial band. The ischial tuberosity is located at the lower part of the pelvis (not on the lateral thigh). The greater trochanter is a proximal bony landmark (not 4 - 6 inches inferior on the lateral thigh). The lesser trochanter is on the medial - posterior aspect of the femur (not lateral thigh).

Answer:

Iliotibial band
