“…Esta estrutura de tecido conectivo é um espessamento lateral da fáscia lata que se estende da crista ilíaca à tuberosidade lateral da tíbia, sendo assim capaz de influenciar diretamente a função da articulação do joelho (25,29). Uma vez que a técnica clássica pode levar à aquisição de encurtamento da BIT por sobrecarga sobre o TFL, é possível que alterações musculoesqueléticas do TFL estejam mais relacionadas com disfunções na articulação do joelho das bailarinas (mau alinhamento patelar, dor anterior no joelho) do que com processos patológicos envolvendo a coluna lombar (30).…”

“…Potential contributing factors that have been studied include increased Q angle (19), hypermobile patella (35), decreased quadriceps flexibility (28,35), hamstring flexibility (28,35), and iliotibial (IT) band flexibility (34), quadriceps weakness (8), and ligamentous laxity (35). Fulkerson (11,12) has identified malalignment of the extensor mechanism as one of the principal factors in the development of patellofemoral pain.…”

The results of this study show that hip abductors and external rotators were significantly weaker between the injured and unaffected legs of the injured athletes. In addition, injured collegiate female athletes exhibited global hip weakness compared with age- and sport-matched asymptomatic controls. Screening for hip muscle weakness and adding strengthening exercises to the affected hip muscles may be important factors in managing female athletes with patellofemoral pain.

“…3,4,16,21 Iliotibial band friction syndrome, in which a tight IT band rubs over the lateral femoral epicondyle prominence with repetitive flexion and extension of the knee, has been reported as a relatively common condition in cyclists, ballet dancers, and runners, and has been attributed to the lack of flexibility of the IT band. 9,10,15,19,23,26 Across all of these reports in the literature related to the tight IT band and the problems that result from this lack of flexibility, the examination for IT band tightness that has consistently been advocated by each of these authors as the examination of choice is the Ober test or a modification of the Ober test.…”

Study Design: Test-retest design to evaluate the reliability of the measurement of iliotibial (IT) band flexibility using an inclinometer to measure the hip adduction angle. Objectives: The primary objective was to determine the intrarater reliability of the Ober test and the modified Ober test for the assessment of IT band flexibility using an inclinometer to measure the hip adduction angle. A secondary objective was to determine if a difference existed between the measurements of IT band flexibility between the Ober and modified Ober test. Background: The Ober test and the modified Ober test are frequently used for the measurement of IT band flexibility. To date, data documenting the objective measurement of flexibility of the IT band is scarce in the literature. Methods and Measures: Sixty-one subjects, with a mean age of 24.2 (SD = 4.3) years, were measured during 2 measurement sessions over 2 consecutive days. During each measurement session, subjects were positioned on their left side and, with an inclinometer at the lateral epicondyle of the femur, hip adduction was measured during the Ober test (knee at 90°of flexion) and the modified Ober test (knee extended). If the limb was horizontal, it was considered to be at 0°, if below horizontal (adducted), it was recorded as a positive number, and if above horizontal (abducted), it was recorded as a negative number. Results:The ICC values calculated for the intrarater reliability of the repeated measurement were 0.90 for the Ober test and 0.91 for the modified Ober test. Results of the dependent t test indicated a significantly greater range of motion of the hip in adduction using the modified Ober test as compared to the Ober test. Discussion and Conclusion: The use of an inclinometer to measure hip adduction using both the Ober test and the modified Ober test appears to be a reliable method for the measurement of IT band flexibility, and the technique is quite easy to use. However, given that the modified Ober test allows significantly greater hip adduction range of motion than the Ober test, the 2 examination procedures should not be used interchangeably for the measurement of the flexibility of the IT band.
