The psoas sign is a medical sign that indicates irritation to the iliopsoas group of hip flexors in the human abdomen abdomen , and consequently indicates that the inflamed appendix is retrocaecal in orientation as the iliopsoas muscle is retroperitoneal . It is elicited by performing the psoas test by passively extending the thigh of a patient lying on his side with knees extended, or asking the patient to actively flex his thigh at the hip. ref cite book last Bickley first Lynn S. title Bates Guide to Physical Exam and History Taking edition 9th publisher Lippincott, Williams, and Wilkins pages 390 ref If abdominal pain results, it is a positive psoas sign . The pain results because the psoas borders the peritoneal cavity , so stretching by hyperextension at the hip or contraction by flexion of the hip of the muscles causes friction against nearby inflamed tissues. In particular, the right iliopsoas muscle lies under the Vermiform appendix appendix when the patient is supine position supine , so a positive psoas sign on the right may suggest appendicitis . A positive psoas sign may also be present in a patient with a psoas abscess .

This is the most tender part of the animal, because these muscles are used for posture, rather than locomotion.

With his left hand, the examiner rotates the hip by moving the right knee inward. This is flexion and internal rotation of the hip. In the clinical context, it is performed when acute appendicitis is suspected. In this condition, the appendix becomes inflamed and enlarged. The appendix may come into physical contact with the obturator internus muscle, which will be stretched when this maneuver is performed on the right leg. This causes pain and is an evidence in support of an inflamed appendix. The principles of the obturator sign in the diagnosis of appendicitis are similar to that of the psoas sign .
