This is not actually our method. This is taken straight from the following sources:
Warternburg, J Pediatr, 1950
Brody, Arch Neurol, 1969
Verghese, Rev Infect Dis, 1987
Thomas, Clin Infect Dis, 2002

show us what happen if the test is positive

1. The patient raises their leg (knee in full extension) actively by flexing the hip until pain is felt. (the entire test is actively done by the patient).
2. The patient then flexes the knee and if the pain disappears, then it is considered a positive test (sign for meningeal irritation, nerve root involvement, or dural irritation).
