Manœuvre permettant d'évaluer la contracture du tenseur du fascia lata. Le malade étant en décubitus latéral, l'examinateur amène la cuisse en abduction aussi loin que possible, fléchit le genou à 90° tout en maintenant la hanche en position neutre pour relâcher le tenseur du fascia lata. Il retire ensuite ses mains brusquement. Si le muscle est normal, la cuisse tombe immédiatement en adduction sur l'autre cuisse. Par contre, en cas de contracture du tenseur de fascia lata, la cuisse reste en abduction quand on la relâche. 2, record 1, French, - man%26oelig%3Buvre%20d%27Ober
