Rebound tenderness
Rebound tenderness is a clinical sign that a doctor may detect in physical examination of a patient's abdomen. It refers to pain that is felt after the examiner's hand is removed from an area (as distinct from tenderness, which is pain felt when the examiner's hand touches an area).
