Twenty low back pain patients and sixteen not suffering from low back pain were taken several flexility and asymmetry tests by two different examiners. Several possible quasi-objective measures of low back pain were investigateed, eleven subjective reported relief of pain immediately following rotational manipulations of lumbar spine as described by Cyriax.The objective tests of pre-and post-manipulation were analyzied, hamstring tightness test was not particular high due to the sensivity of different examiner, but active or passive straight leg raising can be strongly recommended for assement of spinal manipulation.
