Execution:
- Patient is in supine lying position
- The examiner performs a passive Straight Leg Raise Test until the patient experiences tightness in the hamstrings
- The examiner then flexes the patient’s knee and tries to passively move the patient’s hip further into flexion
Positive Outcome: The examiner is not able to move the hip further into flexion after the knee is flexed due to pain, which might indicate a neoplasm, abscess, ischial bursitis or hamstring tendinopathy at the ischial tuberosity

| Comment: A positive Sign of the Buttock is thus a red flag and has to be examined further to exclude serious pathology! | |||||
