| Hoover's sign | <clinical sign> The patient is asked to lie supine on a couch, and when asked to raise one leg, they involuntarily make counter pressure with the heel of the other leg. If this leg is paralysed, whatever muscular power is preserved in it will be exerted in this way, or if the patient attempts to lift a paralysed leg, counter pressure will be made with the other heel, whether any movement occurs in the paralysed limb or not. This sign is not present in hysteria or malingering, a modification in the movement of the costal margins during respiration, caused by a flattening of the diaphragm, suggestive of empyema or other intrathoracic condition causing a change in the contour of the diaphragm.

| Hoover's s. |
1. in the normal state or in genuine paralysis, if the patient, lying on a flat surface, is directed to press the whole lower limb against the surface, there will be a lifting movement in the opposite limb; this phenomenon is absent in hysteria and malingering. 2. movement of the costal margins toward the midline during inhalation, occurring bilaterally in pulmonary emphysema and unilaterally in conditions causing flattening of the diaphragm, such as pleural effusion and pneumothorax.
