Medical - Medical (general) / Peru
Spanish term or phrase: PR (+)
This is from a Peruvian medical report regarding physical therapy plan for person with osteoporosis and herniated cervical discs.

I feel like it should be obvious, but I can't figure out what "PR" refers to.

Context:
Al examen físico funcional preferencial cervical presentó: Digitopresión (+) en suboccipitales; PR (+) C6-D1. Rango Articular funcionales, Al Test de fuerza muscular #/5 Escala Análoga visual EVA de #/10.

Thank you in advance for any suggestions.

Skin-rolling (+)
Explanation:
PR= pinza rodada
Ref:
La prueba se considera positiva cuando provoca molestia o dolor en determinados niveles dermatómicos, son tensión y pérdida de elasticidad de la piel y de la fascia subcutánea. Se recomienda que, en el examen de las regiones dorsal y lumbar de la columna, se realice la pinza rodada en línea media, por encima de las apófisis espinosas, y a ambos lados de éstas y en dirección cefálica, para comparar los hallazgos a un lado y otro.

La pinza rodada es una técnica diagnóstica que se suele aplicar en los masaje de espalda que permitirá obtener la localización de un desarreglo intervertebral menor (DIM) que puede provocar la irritación de un nervio raquídeo y tener como consecuencia una radículalgia aguda o leve (síndrome celulotenomiálgico). Aunque se trata de una maniobra exploratoria, la pinza rodada también sirve definir disfunciones segmentarias concretas. Esto se debe a su relación dermatómica con la alteración segmentaria vertebral.

Reference information:
PR debe ser presión. El + debe significar grave
Normalmente, la médula espinal está protegida por la columna vertebral, pero ciertas lesiones y trastornos ejercen presión sobre ella (la comprimen) - https://www.msdmanuals.com/es/hogar/enfermedades-cerebrales,...
Injuries and disorders can put pressure on the spinal cord, causing back or neck pain, tingling, muscle weakness, and other symptoms.
The spinal cord may be compressed by bone, blood (hematomas), pus (abscesses), tumors (cancerous or not), or a ruptured or herniated disk. - https://www.merckmanuals.com/home/brain,-spinal-cord,-and-ne...

agree  Neil Ashby: I agree "pressure" seems the most likely, but I don't think (+) means "severe", it just means positive pressure (as opposed to negative pressure = suction/vacuum). Bear in mind these are physiotherapy indications, it's not a diagnosis of the problem.
