Answer the following questions
1. Indicate how the use of straight leg raising test informed your management of the low back pain with sciatica pain patient. In other words, why did you use this test? What information did it give you, and how did that information effect the management of your patient?
2. Summarize the evidence regarding the reliability and/or validity of straight leg raising test, citing at least one reference. Include specific information (i.e., the value for a reliability coefficient, sensitivity/specificity, etc). Use the resources available to you to interpret what you find (textbook, course material, rehab measures definitions, etc.).
3. Indicate how the use of slump test informed your management of the low back pain with sciatica pain patient. In other words, why did you use this test? What information did it give you, and how did that information effect the management of your patient?
4. Summarize the evidence regarding the reliability and/or validity of slump test, citing at least one reference.
