The SLR test is short for Straight Leg Raise test. It is an orthopedic test given to determine injury. The most common SLR test is given with the patient lying supine with the legs fully extended.
(In the patient with lower Back pain, the leg with pain is the one evaluated.)
The examiner puts one hand under the ankle of the affected leg and the other hand on the knee - and then lifts the ankle and flexes the thigh relating to the hip.
