Schober's test is classically used to determine if there is a decrease in lumbar spine range of motion (flexion). Patient is standing, examiner marks the L5 spinous process by drawing a horizontal line across the patients back. A second line is marked 10 cm above the first line. Patient is then instructed to flex forward as if attempting to touch his/her toes, examiner remeasures distance between two lines with patient fully flexed. The difference between the measurements in erect and flexion positions indicates the outcome of the lumbar flexion. Less than 5cm increase in length with forward flexion: Decreased lumbar spine range of motion.
