Determinations of Sciatic Nerve Tension

Abstract

Several trunk and leg signs are described which will assist in the diagnosis, prognosis and treatment of conditions associated with sciatic nerve tension. Use of these tests to distinguish between the genuine sufferer and the imitator is explained. The signs of an active lesion of an intervertebral disk are typical and constant, and simulated motions inconsistent with tension of the sciatic nerve may be discerned readily.
