Στη γυμναστική "straight leg raisers" λέμε τις ασκήσεις που σηκώνουμε το πόδι σε ευθεία γραμμή.

Στο δικό σου κείμενο, πιστεύω ότι πρόκειται για δύο εξετάσεις: Fajersztajn’s και Bragard's, που βγήκαν και οι δύο θετικές.

Bragard: Sign

Procedure: With the patient supine and both lower limbs straight and parallel, the whole extremity on the affected side is flexed on the hip until the patient experiences pain with the lower limb held in this position the foot is strongly dorsiflexed. The sign is present if there is an increase in radicular pain from this action.

Significance: Peripheral or nerve root irritation of the sciatic nerve.


Fajersztajn’s: Test

In unilateral sciatica the examiner straight leg raises the unaffected limb until it causes or increases the opposite side radiculitis; if none is produced by this maneuver, strong dorsiflexion of the foot is added to the straight leg raising. The production of radicular pain on the opposite side by either of these two actions is a positive test.

Significance: Sciatica produced at the nerve root level is a confirmatory test for a ruptured disc lesion.

Synonym: Well leg raising test; crossed sciatic sign; Lasegue contralateral sign.

Bragard's Sign This test is done with the patient supine with both legs straight. The examiner straight leg raises the leg on the affected side until the point the patient feels pain. At this position, the examiner firmly dorsiflexes the foot. If there is an increase in radicular pain from the above, the test is considered positive, indicating peripheral or nerve root irritation of the sciatic nerve.

Fajersztajn's "Well Leg Raising" Test This test is used when unilateral sciatica is present. The examiner passively straight leg raises the unaffected limb to the point of causing or increasing radiculitis in the opposite side. When none is produced, then strong dorsiflexion of the foot is added. The test is positive when either of these two actions produce radicular pain on the opposite side to the leg being lifted. A positive test tends to confirm the existence of a ruptured disc lesion as it produced sciatica at the nerve root level.

Στη συνέχεια θα προχωρήσει στην αντικειμενική εξέταση, που περιλαμβάνει μεταξύ άλλων την τοποθέτηση σε ορισμένες στάσεις -κυρίως ανύψωση των κάτω άκρων- με σκοπό να εκδηλωθεί, να επιταθεί ή να μειωθεί η ένταση του πόνου.
