This is going to be a video on the Ober’s Test for contractures in the tensor fascia latae. The Ober’s Test asses for tightness in the tensor fascia latae muscle which is responsible for a tight iliotibial band. To perform this test, have your patient in side-laying position, with the lower leg in flexion at the hip and the knee for stability. Then, the examiner passively abducts the upper leg and brings it into slight extension, while the other hand fixates the pelvis. In literature, this test was first described in 90° of knee flexion but we prefer to have the upper leg completely extended to have the iliotibial band under even more stretch. Then, slowly lower the upper leg all the way down to the table. This test would be positive if the upper leg stays in the air and does not fall down on the table, which is not the case here. Okay, this was our video on the Ober’s Test for tightness of the Tensor Fascia Latae, I hope this video was helpful to you, if it was, give it a thumbs up and make sure to check out our other videos on the Thomas Test for Iliopsoas tightness or the Rectus Femoris Contracture Test right here to asses for rectus femoris contracture. See you next time, stay tuned for new videos, bye.
