Abdominal rebound tenderness occurs when the examiner slowly pushes down on the abdomen, then releases the hand quickly, eliciting a painful reaction (due to the reaction of rebound tenderness, and indicating underlying infection/inflammation in the abdominal cavity).
Guarding indicates the patient's muscular bracing/tension when palpation begins to occur by the examiner.
