Active Movement Assessment
flexion, extension, side bending, rotation
Extension Quadrant Testing
- stand w/ equal weight
- instruct pt to lean back, rotate, and side-flex toward one side
- combined motion of ext., rotation, side flexion
**positive test is when pt’s pain is reproduced
Flexion Quadrant Testing
- stand w/ equal weight
- instruct pt to lean forward and touch toes
- combined motion of ext., rotation, side flexion
**positive test is when pt’s pain is reproduced
What are the three Neural Tension Tests
Slump Test
Straight Leg Raise
Femoral Nerve Tension Test
Slump Test
- pt slumps forward as far as possible
- PT applies firm over pressure into flexion
- pt extends knee or PT passively extends knee
- PT moves foot into DF/PF
- slow neck flexion
