Execution:

Positive Outcome: Patients report that they are not able to sleep on their back or cannot lie on the treatment bench in supine position due to pain

| Comment: The supine sign is rather an item that can be asked during patient-history than an acutal test and it should be used together with the closed-fist percurssion test in case of a suspected thoracic compression fracture. | |||||
