Effects of Contralateral Hip Flexion Angle on the Ober Test

Table 1

Descriptive values of ROM, tightness feeling, and location of tightness during the Ober test with different contralateral hip flexion.

Contralateral hip flexion ()	Variable	Value	Location of tightness (fi: %)
0°	ROM	7.81° ± 4.82°	LST	6 (11%)
	Tightness NRS		AT	29 (51%)
			No tension	21 (38%)
45°	ROM	10.86° ± 4.20°	LST	7 (13%)
	Tightness NRS		AT	31 (55%)
			No tension	18 (32%)
90°	ROM	14.84° ± 4.31°	LST	16 (29%)
	Tightness NRS		AT	27 (49%)
			No tension	13 (24%)
Maximal flexion	ROM	19.94° ± 4.94°	LST	31 (56%)
	Tightness NRS		AT	15 (27%)
			No tension	10 (17%)

ROM: range of movement (°); NRS: Numeric Rating Scale (0-10); Fi: absolute frequency; %: percentage; LST: Lateral Side of Thigh; AT: Anterior Thigh.
