    Also Known As:

    L-Spine Dynamic Extension

    Backward Bending L-Spine

    LS Spine Extension View

    Lumbar Stress Radiograph

    X-Ray Lumbar Spine Extension view is a lateral radiographic image taken while the patient bends backward (spine extended). This view is used to evaluate spinal stability, vertebral movement, spondylolisthesis, and ligament injuries by comparing with the flexion view.


    Includes 4 Test Parameters

  • Technique

    Lateral radiographic projection taken while the patient bends backward.

  • Purpose

    To assess functional stability and detect abnormal vertebral movement (slippage).

  • Area Covered

    The lumbar spine during active extension.

  • Key Clinical Point

    Used in conjunction with flexion views to evaluate mechanical spinal instability.


  • Includes Test 5 Parameters

    It is a side-view image taken while you bend backward to see how your lower vertebrae move and align.

    Yes, it is used to see if any vertebrae slide forward or backward (spondylolisthesis) during movement.

    Extension (bending back) and Flexion (bending forward) are compared to assess the full functional range of your spine.

    Yes, excessive movement of the bones during extension can suggest weakness or injury in the spinal ligaments.

    You should only bend as far as your pain allows. Always inform the technician of your comfort limits.
