Hello and welcome to HCM, The test done by holding out hands is most probably done for hepatic encephalopathy. Flapping tremors develop i the outstretched hands. This is the closest possibility on the basis of information provided by you. Do you any liver dysfunction? If yes then this is the syndrome- hepatic encephalopathy.
