Resistive straight leg raise test, resistive forward bend test and heel compression test: novel techniques in identifying secondary gain motives in low back pain cases
2012
Purpose
‘Low back pain’ (LBP) is a prevalent condition with a majority showing no specific organic pathology. Distinguishing ‘secondary gain motives (SGM)’ from organic causes is imperative in clinical practice. We describe here, three new tests—resistive straight leg raise test (rSLRT), resistive forward bend test (rFBT) and heel compression test (HCT) to help differentiate patients with ‘SGM’ from those without. We conducted a prospective study to validate the above tests in predicting non-organic causes as a reason for LBP.
