Side-lying position close to the edge of the bench facing the examiner
Bottom leg completely extended, the other leg bent with its foot hooked behind the other knee
Lumbar spine brought into slight extension via the hip
Hand placement:
One hand placed through the patient’s crossed arms and making contact with spinous process of L2 with the forearm on the patient’s trunk
Other hand on the spinous process of L3 and with the forearm on the patient’s pelvis
Movement:
Both forearms rotate the patient’s spine into opposite directions until both rotations meet between L2 and L3. So the level to be examined will be placed perpendicular to the bench
