Q: Kernig's sign and Brudzinski's sign are well known in Meningitits. What is Jolt test or "jolt accentuation maneuver" to rule out meningitis?

Answer: The "jolt accentuation maneuver" helps to rule out meningitis in patients with fever and headache. The patient is told to rapidly rotate head horizontally; if this does not make the headache worse, meningitis is unlikely.
