  • This is the incorrect procedure!

    Do not trust sports medicine people I guess...

    Correct method (from the Hospital Physician : Review of Clinical Signs, July 1999)

    With patient supine with hips and knees in flexion. Extension of the knees is attempted: the inability to extend

    the patients knees beyond 135 degrees without causing pain constitutes a positive test for Kernigs sign.

    firstly its a test used for meningitis,

    secondly Pt flexes hips, then examiner passively extends knees
