Abstract

The ASLR test is a suitable diagnostic instrument to discriminate between patients who are disabled by PPPP and healthy subjects. The test is easy to perform; reliability, sensitivity, and specificity are high. It seems that the integrity of the function to transfer loads between the lumbosacral spine and legs is tested by the ASLR test.
