Exploring the SLR Tests and Conditions

Straight Leg Raise Test (SLR)

Description

The Straight Leg Raise (SLR) test, also known as Lasègue's test, is a common orthopedic test used to assess for nerve root irritation in the lower back. The test is performed by lifting the leg straight up while lying on your back, with the knee extended and the ankle dorsiflexed. If the test causes pain that radiates down the leg, it may indicate a herniated disc or other nerve root problem.

Herniated disc

Sciatica
