surname, attested from late 12c., probably meaning bald head; cf. Wyclif Stye up, ballard, where Coverdale translates Come vp here thou balde heade [2 Kg.2:23-24, where God kills 42 children for making fun of Elijah's lack of hair.]
A slump is a form of mass wasting that occurs when a coherent mass of loosely consolidated materials or rock layers moves a short distance down a slope. Movement is characterized by sliding along a concave-upward or planar surface. Comments.
During the slump test,the neural structures within the vertebral canal and foramen are slowly and progressively put on maximum stretch. A recent Cochrane review (on physical examination for lumbar radiculopathy due to disc herniation in patients with low-back pain), also looked at the available data on the Slump test.
