La manœuvre du tripode [...] réalisée en position assise est le pendant de l'élévation de la jambe tendue exécutée en décubitus dorsal. Alors que le malade est assis jambes pendantes, l'examinateur étend progressivement le genou jusqu'à provoquer une douleur. En réaction, le malade se jette vers l'arrière en s’appuyant sur les deux mains pour diminuer la tension sur le nerf sciatique. C'est cette position de triple appui qui a donné son nom au signe. La douleur peut également être exacerbée par la dorsiflexion de la cheville et la flexion antérieure du cou. 1, record 1, French, - man%26oelig%3Buvre%20du%20tripode
