Stop guessing on your IT band assessments! This video demonstrates the crucial difference between the traditional Ober's Test and a modified, locked technique for significantly more accurate and consistent results when assessing iliotibial band tightness. In this installment of the Technique Peek Series, Tim Tyler walks you through performing the Ober's Test, a common physical therapy assessment for IT band flexibility. First, see the traditional Ober's Test method demonstrated (0:05) and observe potential inaccuracies as the leg drifts or compensates. Discover why this standard approach might not give you the clearest picture of true IT band restriction. Then, learn the modified Ober's Test (0:20), sometimes referred to as the locked Ober's Test, based on insights from Dr. James Andrews. This variation involves positioning the bottom leg at 90 degrees of knee flexion and having the patient stabilize by holding the table. See how this setup (0:30) creates a more stable pelvis and consistent starting position, leading to a more reliable assessment of the iliotibial band and tensor fasciae latae (TFL). Understand why this refined technique (0:36) minimizes compensatory movements and provides a clearer indication of IT band tightness compared to the traditional method. This clinical assessment technique is essential for physical therapists, athletic trainers, chiropractors, and students performing musculoskeletal evaluations, especially when investigating potential causes of lateral knee pain or conditions like IT band syndrome. Ensure your hip assessments are precise and reliable! *Timestamps:* 0:00 Introduction - Technique Peek Series 0:05 Traditional Ober's Test Demonstration & Drawbacks 0:20 Modified (Locked) Ober's Test: Setup & Positioning 0:30 Modified (Locked) Ober's Test: Performing the Test 0:36 Comparing Traditional vs. Modified: Why Accuracy Improves 0:41 Technique Credit (Dr. James Andrews) & Outro #ObersTest #ITBand #IliotibialBand #PhysicalTherapy #TechniquePeekSeries #PTAssessment #ClinicalAssessment #HipAssessment #ITBandSyndrome #FlexibilityTest #MobilityTest #AthleticTraining #SportsMedicine #ManualTherapy #PhysicalTherapist #Musculoskeletal #techniquepeekseries #oberstest #itbandsyndrome #exam #evaluation #physicaltherapy #education #OberTest #PhysicalTherapy #Physiotherapy #KneePain #HipPain #techniquepeekseries #DrJamesNicholas #PhysicalExam #MedicalEducation #ClinicalSkills #Assessment ========================================== **GET SOCIAL WITH US** ========================================== *Facebook* ➡︎ https://www.facebook.com/ProfessionalSeminarsLTD/ *Instagram* ➡︎ https://www.instagram.com/professionalseminars/ *YouTube* ➡︎ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXs1zBnFGEXEHa7KASPtSMQ *LinkedIn* ➡︎ https://www.linkedin.com/showcase/professional-seminars/ *Pinterest* ➡︎ https://www.pinterest.com/ProfessionalSeminars/ *Tik Tok* ➡︎ https://www.tiktok.com/@professionalseminars *X.com (Twitter)* ➡︎ https://twitter.com/ProSeminarsLTD ========================================= **USEFUL LINKS** ========================================= *Website* ➡︎ https://www.professionalseminars.com/ *Courses* ➡︎ https://www.professionalseminars.com/schedule *Blog* ➡︎ https://www.professionalseminars.com/blog ======================================== **CHECK OUT OUR PODCASTS** ======================================== *IN THE MIND OF PODCAST* *Website* ➡︎ https://www.professionalseminars.com/podcast *YouTube* ➡︎ https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL_iVn5v09E5af-VI2gn1mvwgvTZ-6-wKR&si=j9KaY0BMxyW6saeg *Apple* ➡︎ https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/in-the-mind-of/id1508337827 *Spotify* ➡︎ https://open.spotify.com/show/5maXs800b5nsu81b1B1lHl . . . . *THE SPORTS MEDICINE RESEARCH RUNDOWN* *YouTube* ➡︎ https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL_iVn5v09E5YOL7_vlXOE50ZxSucNXAQQ *Spotify* ➡︎ https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/sportmed-research-rundown ======================================= *DISCLAIMER* ======================================= **These Videos are provided for informational and educational purposes only and should not be used as a replacement for appropriate medical treatment.

Are you targeting the right muscles when you exercise? In this Technique Peek Series video, Andrew Eom, DPT, breaks down exactly how to do clamshells properly to maximize effectiveness and safety. While clamshells are frequently assigned in the clinic, we often see patients performing different, incorrect variations of the movement. To get the most out of this exercise, correct positioning is key. You must lie on your side with a slight bend in the knee, ensuring your pelvis and shoulders are stacked directly on top of each other. This video guides you through the essential cues, such as preventing the pelvis from falling backward and keeping the feet anchored to the floor while lifting the knee. Watch now to perfect your form!

Are you really getting an accurate measure of your patient's shoulder range of motion? Many clinicians make a common mistake during assessment, leading to a false "full range of motion" reading. In this quick video, Abdul demonstrates the correct way to assess shoulder internal and external rotation by focusing on one critical step: stabilization. You'll see the improper technique for external rotation—just moving the arm back—and then the correct method, which involves stabilizing the spine of the scapula to reveal the true, often limited, range. For internal rotation, Abdul shows how to stabilize the shoulder (using the coracoid process or your own forearm) to prevent compensation and see the actual limitation. Watch now to instantly improve your shoulder assessment technique!

Stop guessing on hip flexion assessments! Discover a simple manual technique to instantly determine your patient's true hip range of motion, differentiating it from compensatory movement. This video, featuring Rob Shapiro, DPT, COMT, NKT, demonstrates a crucial physical assessment skill often overlooked. Learn why visual assessment of hip flexion can be misleading and how to use a specific palpation technique (the "thumb spit out test") near the ASIS to pinpoint the exact end-range of femoral movement in the acetabulum. Understanding this true hip flexion limit is vital for identifying potential hip joint restrictions, including capsular patterns (often involving limitations in flexion, internal rotation, and abduction). Accurately measuring hip flexion provides a reliable baseline for tracking patient progress throughout treatment. This technique is invaluable for physical therapists, chiropractors, athletic trainers, and students performing musculoskeletal assessments. Watch now to refine your hip assessment skills!

Stop guessing on your IT band assessments! This video demonstrates the crucial difference between the traditional Ober's Test and a modified, locked technique for significantly more accurate and consistent results when assessing iliotibial band tightness. In this installment of the Technique Peek Series, Tim Tyler walks you through performing the Ober's Test, a common physical therapy assessment for IT band flexibility. First, see the traditional Ober's Test method demonstrated (0:05) and observe potential inaccuracies as the leg drifts or compensates. Discover why this standard approach might not give you the clearest picture of true IT band restriction. Then, learn the modified Ober's Test (0:20), sometimes referred to as the locked Ober's Test, based on insights from Dr. James Andrews. This variation involves positioning the bottom leg at 90 degrees of knee flexion and having the patient stabilize by holding the table. See how this setup (0:30) creates a more stable pelvis and consistent starting position, leading to a more reliable assessment of the iliotibial band and tensor fasciae latae (TFL). Understand why this refined technique (0:36) minimizes compensatory movements and provides a clearer indication of IT band tightness compared to the traditional method. This clinical assessment technique is essential for physical therapists, athletic trainers, chiropractors, and students performing musculoskeletal evaluations, especially when investigating potential causes of lateral knee pain or conditions like IT band syndrome. Ensure your hip assessments are precise and reliable! *Timestamps:* 0:00 Introduction - Technique Peek Series 0:05 Traditional Ober's Test Demonstration & Drawbacks 0:20 Modified (Locked) Ober's Test: Setup & Positioning 0:30 Modified (Locked) Ober's Test: Performing the Test 0:36 Comparing Traditional vs. Modified: Why Accuracy Improves 0:41 Technique Credit (Dr. James Andrews) & Outro #ObersTest #ITBand #IliotibialBand #PhysicalTherapy #TechniquePeekSeries #PTAssessment #ClinicalAssessment #HipAssessment #ITBandSyndrome #FlexibilityTest #MobilityTest #AthleticTraining #SportsMedicine #ManualTherapy #PhysicalTherapist #Musculoskeletal #techniquepeekseries #oberstest #itbandsyndrome #exam #evaluation #physicaltherapy #education #OberTest #PhysicalTherapy #Physiotherapy #KneePain #HipPain #techniquepeekseries #DrJamesNicholas #PhysicalExam #MedicalEducation #ClinicalSkills #Assessment ========================================== **GET SOCIAL WITH US** ========================================== *Facebook* ➡︎ https://www.facebook.com/ProfessionalSeminarsLTD/ *Instagram* ➡︎ https://www.instagram.com/professionalseminars/ *YouTube* ➡︎ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXs1zBnFGEXEHa7KASPtSMQ *LinkedIn* ➡︎ https://www.linkedin.com/showcase/professional-seminars/ *Pinterest* ➡︎ https://www.pinterest.com/ProfessionalSeminars/ *Tik Tok* ➡︎ https://www.tiktok.com/@professionalseminars *X.com (Twitter)* ➡︎ https://twitter.com/ProSeminarsLTD ========================================= **USEFUL LINKS** ========================================= *Website* ➡︎ https://www.professionalseminars.com/ *Courses* ➡︎ https://www.professionalseminars.com/schedule *Blog* ➡︎ https://www.professionalseminars.com/blog ======================================== **CHECK OUT OUR PODCASTS** ======================================== *IN THE MIND OF PODCAST* *Website* ➡︎ https://www.professionalseminars.com/podcast *YouTube* ➡︎ https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL_iVn5v09E5af-VI2gn1mvwgvTZ-6-wKR&si=j9KaY0BMxyW6saeg *Apple* ➡︎ https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/in-the-mind-of/id1508337827 *Spotify* ➡︎ https://open.spotify.com/show/5maXs800b5nsu81b1B1lHl . . . . *THE SPORTS MEDICINE RESEARCH RUNDOWN* *YouTube* ➡︎ https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL_iVn5v09E5YOL7_vlXOE50ZxSucNXAQQ *Spotify* ➡︎ https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/sportmed-research-rundown ======================================= *DISCLAIMER* ======================================= **These Videos are provided for informational and educational purposes only and should not be used as a replacement for appropriate medical treatment.

Unlock better clinical outcomes by addressing "positional deficits" in patients with forward posture using this specific scapular mobilization technique. In this episode of the Technique Peek Series, D. Guo demonstrates a highly effective manual therapy approach for patients who suffer from rounded shoulders—especially office workers who spend hours at a desk. When the scapula settles into a poor position, muscles lose the leverage necessary for proper movement. This video breaks down how to manually guide the scapula into upward rotation while bringing the shoulder back and down. By "centrating" the scapula, you can immediately improve range of motion and set the stage for more effective strengthening exercises. What You Will Learn: How to identify "positional deficits" in forward-posture patients. Proper patient positioning for effective scapular access. A step-by-step manual technique to induce upward rotation and depression of the scapula.
