Objectives: Straight leg raising test(SLR) is useful clinical test to diagnose herniated lumbar intervertebral disc. The purpose of this study is to analyse diagnostic value of straight leg raising test between traffic accident patients group and non-traffic accident patients group.
Methods: The study involved 26 traffic accident patients group and 45 non-traffic accident patients group with low back pain or radiating pain into the leg. All had a result of straight leg raising test and lumbar computed tomography(CT) or magnetic resonance imaging(MRI). The associations between straight leg raising test and herniated lumbar intervertebral disc were analysed.
Results and Conclusions:
1. There is not significant association between straight leg raising test and herniated lumbar intervertebral disc in traffic accident patients group.
2. There is significant association between straight leg raising test and herniated lumbar intervertebral disc in non-traffic accident patients group.
3. In traffic accident patients group, specificity and negative predictive value are higher than non-traffic accident patients group.
4. In non-traffic accident patients group, sensitivity, positive predictive value and odds ratios are higher than traffic accident patients-group.
