The Glenard manoeuvre (or technique) is used in medical semeiotics to perform palpation of the kidneys

How the Glenard manoeuvre is performed

The hands are placed as in Guyon’s method, but the hand is placed contralaterally to the kidney (left hand for the right kidney) with the thumb limiting renal displacement, which is palpated between one hand and the thumb; preferable on children and/or longilinear adults.
