Partial mediation implies that there is not only a significant relationship between the mediator and the dependent variable, but also some direct relationship between the independent and dependent variable.t is possible to mediate moderation and moderate mediation. Moderated mediation is when the effect of the treatment A on the mediator and/or the partial effect B on the dependent variable depend in turn on levels of another variable (moderator).
A lumbar puncture can help diagnose serious infections, such as meningitis; other disorders of the central nervous system, such as Guillain-Barre syndrome and multiple sclerosis; or cancers of the brain or spinal cord.
SLR is a neural tension test that can be used to rule in or out neural tissue involvement as a result of a space occupying lesion, often a lumbar disc herniation. It is one of the most common neurological tests of the lower limb. The straight leg raise is a passive test. Each leg is tested individually with the normal leg being tested first. When performing the SLR test, the patient is positioned in supine without a pillow under his/her head, the hip medially rotated and adducted, and the knee extended.
