Avoid “artificial hypercomplication” in basic musculoskeletal functional examination procedures

As musculoskeletal therapists we have an “armageddon” of different test procedures at our disposal, very much dependant of which methods or approaches you are familiar with or you like. It’s not difficult to find 100 different “tests” which are used e.g. in examining a lumbar patient. So, that could be quite confusing 😊
Sign of the buttock, why is this a red flag in lumbar patients ?

It is so important to perform the passive hip flexion immediately after the straight leg raise during the lumbar functional examination, otherwise we cannot detect the "Sign of the buttock", which could be an important red flag.
Dysfunction versus derangement syndrome in the spine

The clinical difference between a spinal dysfunction syndrome and an internal derangement is quite obvious. The use of repeated movement testing will be conclusive.
Dural signs and symptoms, often forgotten clinical elements

Dural signs and symptoms are very useful clinical diagnostic elements which you can detect in the history and the functional examination of the patient suffering from lumbar pain.
