The slump test: the effects of head and lower extremity position on knee extension.
Limitations in knee extension range of motion during the slump test are a normal response to cervical flexion, ankle dorsiflexion, or medial hip rotation in young, healthy adult males.

Physical Signs in Lumbar Disc Hernia
Lumbar range of motion and crossed Lasegue sign are the only significant physical signs that can accurately predict the degree of lumbar disc hernia, which is crucial for predicting surgical outcomes and guiding treatment decisions.

Symptoms and signs in degeneration of the lumbar spine. A prospective, consecutive study of 300 operated patients.
Preoperative symptoms in patients with disc herniation are shorter than in those with lateral spinal stenosis, but both conditions cause pain and sensory disturbances.
