Active straight leg raise test (ASLR)<br />
The active straight leg raise test was performed as a <strong>pain</strong> provocation test: as soon<br />
as <strong>pain</strong> is felt it is considered to be positive.<br />
In 2001, Mens et al. [37] studied the<br />
reliability and validity of the ASLR test in<br />
PPPP. They subdivided the results on a<br />
scale from 0 (not difficult at all) to 5 (unable<br />
to do). The study concludes that the ASLR<br />
test is a suitable diagnostic instrument to<br />
distinguish between patients who are<br />

disabled <strong>by</strong> PPPP and healthy persons. The<br />
test is easy to perform. Reliability, sensitivity and specificity are high. It seems that<br />
the integrity of the function to transfer load between the lumbosacral spine and the<br />
legs is tested <strong>by</strong> the ASLR test. [37]<br />
