    The document describes the "Tripod sign", which is elicited when a child who is asked to sit up supports themselves by placing their hands behind their back like legs of a tripod. This tripod position involves flexed knees and hips, an arched back, extended neck, and arms brought back behind the pelvis to help hold up the chest. The presence of the Tripod sign may indicate an underlying neurological condition in the child.
