    Abstract

    Contracture of the iliotibial band leading to flexion and abduction deformity at the hip is common in residual paralysis after polio. Ober's test has been used to detect this, but it is unreliable and cannot determine the degree of contracture. We describe a new test which quantifies this contracture and can be used for comparative purposes.
