The Femoral Nerve Tension Test, also known as the Femoral Nerve StretchTest (FNST) is a test used to screen for sensitivity to stretch soft tissue at the dorsal aspect of the leg, possibly related to nerve root impingements. It was first described by Wasserman in 1919. Literature suggests that this test is not used as commonly as the Straight Leg Raise (SLR) test because of less frequent upper lumbar radioculopathies as compared to lower lumbar radiculopathies. It is considered as an anterior corollary of SLR and assesses the mobility of upper lumbar nerve segments.
