Description

This review sought papers on the straight-leg-raising (SLR) test to summarize and assess the means-ends of the test procedure. The procedure is classified into active and passive components, while the objective is classified into three types; pain assessment, muscle assessment and flexibility assessment. Regarding pain assessment, there is no agreement in the papers reviewed regarding criteria for pain location (e.g. sciatica, a combination of low back pain and leg pain). It is therefore considered unacceptable to conclude that the SLR test is positive without describing the examination and the patient's responses. However, observed variations in the means-ends of the test procedure indicate that the SLR test is highly-sensitive test of various forms of pain in the lower body and it is therefore thought to be useful for assessing various clinical states associated with the standardization of the SLR test including a structured examination.
