French term or phrase: test de corde d\'arc
Context: The report of an orthopedics examination of a patient who suffered a low back injury. The physician lists about a dozen tests that he performed on the patient, including Lasègue’s, Ely’s, Kernig’s, the SLR and the “test de corde d’arc”. I have not been able to find this term on the Internet (or anywhere else for that matter). Any help with the English equivalent would be appreciated. TIA.
