| Definition / notes: | http://www.jointenterprise.co.uk/backpain-1.htm * Straight leg raise test. This stretches nerve roots L5, S1 and S2. Pick up the leg at the ankle and keep the knee fully extended. Take the leg up towards ninety degrees or beyond. If the patient has significant nerve root entrapment then you will reproduce their shooting leg pain before you get much beyond thirty degrees of elevation. Back pain produced by straight leg raising is common and does not indicate nerve root involvement. |
