“…Clinical sign of the presence of an inflammatory process across the sciatic nerve is the SLR test. Hip flexion with a straight leg causes lumbosacral nerve root displacement 0.5 to 5 mm, while trunk flexion causes nerve root displacement up to 3 mm within the intervertebral foramen [ 40 , 41 , 42 ]. Flexion of lumbar spine and pelvis has demonstrated proximal movement up to 12.2 mm of the tibial branch of the sciatic nerve at the popliteal fossa [ 43 ].…”

Although the measurements of the lumbar spine and pelvic flexion have shown that subjects with radiculopathy exhibited greater decreases of motion when compared with subjects with low back pain, there is still a lack of evidence regarding the changes in flexion relaxation ratio in patients with radiculopathy. The aims of this study were to investigate the flexion relaxation ratio and flexion of the lumbar spine and pelvis in subjects with low back pain (LBP) and LBP with radiculopathy (LBPR) in comparison with healthy subjects (CG—control group). A total of 146 participants were divided in three groups: LBP patients (54 males; 21 females); LBPR patients (26 males; 11 females); and CG subjects (16 males; 18 females). The lumbar spine and pelvis flexion was recorded using optoelectronic motion capture system. The electrical activity of the erector spinae muscles was assessed by surface electromyography during flexion-extension movements. Comparisons between groups were made using one-way ANOVA tests and Mann–Whithney U test with the level of statistical significance at 0.05. The lumbar and pelvic flexion and electromyography of the erector spinae muscle showed significant differences between LBP and LBPR patients compared to CG. Patients LBPR showed significantly smaller angles of lumbar and pelvic flexion compared to LBP patients and CG. An increase in the erector spinae muscle activity during flexion was also observed in patients with radiculopathy. The increased muscular activity of the erector spinae is related to the reduced flexion of the lumbar spine in order to protect the lumbar spine structure. Measurements of trunk, lumbar spine and pelvic flexion, and the flexion relaxation ratio may allow us to predict better outcomes or responsiveness to treatment of LBPR patients in the future.

“…At greater than 60°, the nerve roots move ventrally and laterally to the pedicle. This causes the test to lose sensitivity [47]. For best results, the SLR should be interpreted in light of the slump test.…”

“…Το νωτιαίο νεύρο σε ορισμένες περιπτώσεις περνά πάνω από τους συνδέσμους και σε άλλες κάτω από αυτούς. Στη δοκιμασία ανύψωσης του ποδιού σε ευθεία θέση35 , ένα δεδομένο νεύρο γλιστρά μέσα στο μεσοσπονδύλιο τρήμα περίπου 1-2χιλιοστά. Εάν το νεύρο μπορούσε να γλιστρήσει σε μεγαλύτερο μήκος, τα αγγεία του θα διατείνονταν τόσο πολύ που δε θα μπορούσαν ούτε να ακολουθήσουν το νεύρο ούτε να λειτουργήσουν από την αυξημένη τάση.…”
