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%) |
