Neurological examination

*Straight leg raising test (Lasègue)

*Crossed straight leg raising test (Crossed Lasègue)

*Sensory loss

*Dermatome anesthesia

*Muscle weakness

*Knee tendon reflex difference

*Ankle tendon reflex difference

*Finger-ground distance in centimeter

Lasègue's sign is defined positive if the patient experiences a typically dermatomal area of pain reproduction and pelvic muscle resistance below a unilateral 60 degrees angle provocative straight leg raising. 'Crossed positive' if the same experience was noted with straight raising of the contralateral leg below 90 degrees.
