50m c/o lower back pain and right leg sciatica for 2 wks. on raising left leg to 40 degrees with left knee in extension causes pain in his lower back that radiates to his right calf. which is true:
a. patient is not malingering
b. positive st. leg raising test is more specific for nerve-root compression on the contralateral side than on the ipsilateral side.
c. result is pathognomonic for sacroiliac sprain syndrome
d. cauda equina syndrome is present
e. needs surgical intervention to correct radiculopathy.
A&Y. thanks.
