Abstract
Objectives : This study investigated the relationship between straight leg raising(SLR), valsalva test and size, position of lumbar disc herniation. Methods : We took SLR and valsalva test on 105 patients with lumbar disc herniation. According to the result of MRI findings, this study classified three groups of 105 patients with lumbar disc herniation, bulging, protrusion and extrusion. According to the position of lumbar disc herniation, 72 patients that were diagnosed protrusion and extrsuion were sorted 4 groups, lateral, lateral postero-lateral, central postero-lateral, central. The association size, position of lumbar disc herniation and SLR, valsalva test were analysed. Results : The bigger size of disc herniation, the more positive result of SLR and valsalva test, the lower angle of SLR test. There was not significant association between the position of lumbar disc herniation and the angle of SLR test. Conclusions : The SLR and valsalva test is an useful physical examination to speculate about the degree of lumbar disc herniation.
