Özet

Purpose This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic aptitude of a modified Adams forward bending test (MAFBT), which addresses the coupling phenomenon of axial rotation with reference to the side-bending movement. Also, this evaluation was facilitated by the introduction of our rotational flexibility index (RFI).
