Both active and passive Straight Leg Raise (SLR) tests, as well as their therapy, have been an essential diagnostic tool for many physiotherapy conditions (in lumbar radiculopathy, hamstring tightness, postsurgical rehabilitation, etc.) for quite a long time. SLR test and therapy that traditionally are performed by the hands of a physical therapist, with the gold standard being practitioner-dependent and inconsistent from session to session, as well as individual
