I find using this test in combination with the slump test to be very effective in assessing radicular pain. Just had a conversation with my clinical instructor today about the SLR test.

[@TheCarnivalguy]

My experience was slightly different. As part of my SS Disability claim, I was sent to a physician they used as part of the process. I had years of pain management visits which included sporadic X- test rays, MRIs, a few chiropractors, and several lumbar injections. The only type of leg test was part of my monthly pain management visits which consisted of a gentle raising of my legs while in a seated position. I saw the SS doctor who took a few more X-rays of my lumbar area, then afterwards had me lie down on an examining table; similar to the one in this video. I was unsure what Dr. Jekyl was going to do as he said nothing. As soon as he grabbed the first keg, the good doc looked at my face, and as I glanced back Dr. Jekyl turned into Mr. Hyde. He moved my leg up to a 45° degree angle but I felt nothing as he gazed intently at me. Next, Mr. Hyde yanked the leg quickly to a 90° angle. To say I screamed bloody murder is an understatement. The old fellow said nothing as he turned and made a few notes. Meanwhile, I lay on the table my face grimacing with what the revelation of the meaning of severe back pain. I said nothing as he treated the other leg in the same manner, and myself screaming in pain. It’s said that those sounds hang over that medical building to this day. Apparently, both of those tests were positive. lol

Vielen Dank für das Video:) Ich finde es sehr hilfreich, dass ihr eine ausführliche Einführung in den klinischen Wert des Testes gibt. Das erlaubt einem besser einzuschätzen wann man den Test effektiv gebrauchen kann. Macht weiter so!

Superb Sir

[@corneliusfrank]

If this test is positive, would this favor indication of lumbogenic radiculopathy > tight piriformis or vice versa?

[@Jijicookingchannel]

I just subscribed to your channel

[@dineshjakhar3628]

straight leg test can perform for assis to the sciatica ?

[@EbrahimFHAli]

Excellent

[@absbse]

Can this test be done actively (by the patient) or always passive ?

[@Physiotutors]

It's a passive test. The active SLR is often used as a test for SIJ

[@deserteaglez]

Helpful

[@samirasalemi8602]

So so good 👏

[@frankidicolamia7720]

i don't speak your language very well, sorry but i have a question! with negative test, can it be excluded a herniated disc and bulging disc?

[@Physiotutors]

Not excluded, but less likely.

Is there any way to tell if the radicular pain is peripheral or in the lower back?

[@AndreasHeck]

radicular pain always has it's origin at the radix (=spinal nerve) but symptoms radiate peripherally. in radicular syndrome leg pain > back pain

[@fitnessmmaplaylists3548]

@@AndreasHeck for example for the median nerve there is some tests we can perform to check if the origin of the radicular pain comes from the cervical (for example a disc herniation) or from the wrist (carpal tunnel syndrom). So in the SLR if the test is positive then the origin of the problem is for sure from the lower back? If not is there some test we can do to check where the origin of the problem is from? Im sorry bothering with this questions and thank you a lot for the replies (Im a student of physical therapy)
