Test for a Intervertebral Disc Lesion. The patient rotates trunk obliquely downward in the affected lumbosacral area. Positive if Lower Back pain that radiates into lower extremities.

Description af the test is correct, however it is not really a test for a disc lesion but lumbar facet dysfunctions (if at all). Both specificity and sensitivity are low - if you're looking for a disc you better stick with SMR.

According to Vizniak, page 265, it says, Local low back pain -> local lesion ( sprain/strain, facet syndrome, meniscoid entrapment)
