Table 2. Comparison of the hip adduction range of motion during Ober test in pre- and post test within the group
Group | | Pre-test | Post-test | t | p |
AS | Hip ROM (degrees) | −9.27±3.58 | −1.63±3.44 | −12.90 | .00* |
TFL stiffness (N/m2) | 255.18±24.71 | 245.81±22.62 | 1 | .33 |
IASTM | Hip ROM (degrees) | −10.25±3.62 | −6.58±3.84 | −7.86 | .00* |
TFL stiffness (N/m2) | 261.58±65.80 | 244.16±75.31 | .76 | .46 |
Data are expressed as mean ± standard deviation; AS, active stretching; IASTM, instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization; TFL, tensor fascia lata;
