Question

Movement sequence of Slump test:
A. Gentle hand pressure by therapist to guide and obtain bowing of spine
B. Ankle dorsiflexion actively
C. Extend the knee actively
D. Patient is asked to sag or slump
E. Patient flexes head and neck in a chin to chest position
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

• A. D, A, E, C, B
• B. D, A, E, B, C
• C. E, D, A, C, B
• D. E, D, C, A, B

Hint:

Slump test order: Slump → Pressure → Neck flex → Knee extend → Ankle DF

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Concept:
The Slump test is a neurodynamic test used to assess neural tissue mobility and sensitivity, particularly of the sciatic nerve.

Step 1: Initial slump position.

• Patient is asked to slump forward Thus: \[ D: Patient slumps \]

Step 2: Therapist assistance.

• Therapist applies gentle pressure to maintain spinal flexion Thus: \[ A: Gentle hand pressure \]

Step 3: Cervical flexion.

• Patient flexes neck (chin to chest) Thus: \[ E: Neck flexion \]

Step 4: Knee extension.

• Patient actively extends knee Thus: \[ C: Knee extension \]

Step 5: Ankle dorsiflexion.

• Final neural tension added by dorsiflexion Thus: \[ B: Ankle dorsiflexion \]

Step 6: Final sequence.
\[ D \rightarrow A \rightarrow E \rightarrow C \rightarrow B \] \[ \boxed{\text{Correct answer = Option (1)}} \]
