In the video, during testing patients, when the black box appears at the bottom of the video, the label reads "Positive" in the absence of Hoover sign. It is blurred out now, but that was a mistake. Hoover sign detects functional neurological disorders (FNDs), therefore, for the purpose of this video it is positive when it detects FNDs (when the affected leg exerts a force on examiner's hand)

Hoover sign is used to differentiate between the organic and functional weakness of pyramidal origin. In this video the Hoover's Test was done on a stroke patient and a suspected stroke patient with nonspecific hemiparesis.
