Lumbar Tests

Straight-Leg Test (SLT) or Lasègue Test: client raises straightened leg at thehip (with knee extended). Increased pain can indicate lumbar or discinvolvement. (Pain in opposite leg can be due to more severe disc herniationand is cause for referral).Criteria for positive SLT:1. Sciatic pain at 30 to 70 degrees of hip flexion (70° is pictured);2. Aggravation of pain with ankle dorsiflexion;3. Relief of pain by knee flexion.

Instructions / Intentions / Feel or Watch For:

Slump test variation: client curls spine and neck into slight flexion, while raisingleg. Increased pain with slumping considered positive for dural tethering atnerve roots.Positional variations: Client can also be supine, or tests can be performed passively.

Movements / Cues:

Bowstring variation: with practitioner stabilizing client’s hip at angle of maximumchange in sciatic symptoms, knee is slightly flexed, usually relieving symptoms.Pressure with thumbs into the popliteal space will worsen symptoms whensciatic nerve is involved, due to stretch on nerve. Positive sign indicatesperipheral sciatic nerve involvement.

Piriformis Test

Increased pain with hip flexion and adduction can indicate piriformis or hamstring involvement in sciatic pain.

Instructions / Intentions / Feel or Watch For:

Variations:Client can be sitting (as pictured) or supine.Test can be active (as pictured), or performed passively.Increased pain with resisted active external rotation of a straight leg can alsoindicate piriformis involvement.

Movements / Cues:

Some sources suggest that including the passive and supine variations inassessment increase the accuracy of the Straight Leg and Piriformis Tests.Other sources purport that positional differences in results suggest“malingering” (purposeful feigning of physical symptoms for secondary gain).

Sciatic Nerve Glide Test

Direct client to compare the sensations of straightening the affected andunaffected legs. If straightening the affected leg increases sciatic pain, nervetethering could be a factor (at or proximal to the site of reported pain). Use Sciatic Nerve techniques to locate and release neural sheath adhesions. Ingeneral, work proximal to distal, retesting to track improvement.

Instructions / Intentions / Feel or Watch For:

Straightening leg (extend knee).[If pain increases with knee extension:] “Where do you feel it most?” (Can oftenindicate site of tethering.)Can be helpful as a take-home client exercise/stretch. Clients should be cautioned not to overdo it, so as to avoid irritating an inflamed sciatic nerve.

Movements / Cues:

Variations (not pictured):1. Positive test result when bringing leg across the body (knee extension withhip flexion with adduction) can indicate piriformis or hamstring involvement.2. Placing the sole of the passive leg on the table by raising the knee can helpdifferentiate between lumbar and non-lumbar tethering. Since knee-up positiondecreases lumbar extension, suspect tethering at lumbars if having passiveleg’s knee up decreases pain.

Lumbar Test Variations

1. Slump test variation: client curls spine and neck into slight flexion, whileraising leg. Increased pain with slumping considered positive for dural tetheringat nerve roots.2.Bowstring variation: with practitioner stabilizing client’s hip at angle ofmaximum change in sciatic symptoms, knee is slightly flexed, usually relievingsymptoms. Pressure with thumbs into the popliteal space will worsen symptomswhen sciatic nerve is involved, due to stretch on nerve. Positive sign indicatesperipheral sciatic nerve involvement.
