Which test is NOT part of Laslett's criteria?

Explanation:
Laslett's criteria diagnose sacroiliac joint pain using a specific set of provocative maneuvers. The idea is that reproducing familiar SIJ pain with several of these tests increases the likelihood that the SIJ is the pain source. The tests typically included are the distraction test, the thigh thrust test, Gaenslen's test, and the sacral thrust (with or without also including a compression test). Among the options, the distraction, thigh thrust, and Gaenslen's tests are classic components of this clue-based cluster. Kern's test, however, is not part of Laslett's SIJ provocation cluster.
