What is the medical/scientific name for the hand pat test?

Does anyone know the name for this? They use it for sobriety tests... i heard it in my anatomy lecture but cant remember the name....


It when one hand is held out palm facing upwards, and the other hand is placed on top, facing down, facing up , facing down and so on....

What is the medical/scientific name for the hand pat test?
I don't know that it has an eponymic description, but if you google "diadochokinesis" maybe you can find something.
Reply:All the field sobriety tests sites I looked at just called it the hand pat test. Sorry.
