Spine, 07/01/09
Summers B et al. - The authors consider that the flip test has been substantially misinterpreted in the past. However, it remains a useful check of nerve root tension but only for patients with supine SLRs below 45°. The most reliable response was not a flip but the demonstration of pain on extension of the knee. The authors would recommend the term sitting SLR test, as a more accurate and less misleading name.
