If your patient had a (-) SLR test, with the following information, what would you know regarding the statistical information of this test. Sn = 0.91 Sp = 0.26 - LR = 0.35 + LR = 1.2
The SN is high, so I would say this patient has sciatic pain!
The SN is high, so I would say this patient does not have sciatic pain!
The SP is low, so I would say this patient has sciatic pain!

in a neutral lumbar spine, LF and Rotation occur in opposite directions
Motion introduced in one plane reduces motion available in other planes.
in a neutral lumbar spine, LF and Rotation occur in the same direction
if the lumbar spine is non-neutral, LF and Rotation occur in the opposite direction
