German term

E in Null

German to English Medical Medical (general) Orthopedics
In a German medical report for patient who has lumbar spine syndrome, in list of associated symptoms and tests:
"Flex bis ca. 30 cm FBA, E in Null; Lat-Flex bds eingeschränkt;

I think "E" stands for "Extension" but I am not sure what the "E in Null" means or how I would say it in English.
Thanks for suggestions!
Proposed translations (English)
3 extension neutral

FBA = finger-floor distance Thanks, everyone so far for your help. Sorry I did not see Jennifer's question till now but as for FBA, I agree with Andres, thanks Andres.

@ Stephen R Schoening Could you tell us the expanded form of "FBA", please?
Sabine Akabayov, PhD Aug 12, 2010:
just a guess maybe this refers to the "Neutral Null Methode"?

Selected

extension neutral

IMO this is meant:
Flexion till 30 cm distance finger tips -> floor

Extension to 0° (upright position), no back extension possible.

pls. note: a.m. "extension neutral" is meant as an explanation NOT translation.

I would choose as translation:

Extension 0 degree
