Description of neurological testing procedure
This appears in a list of tests done during a neurological examination, just before Epreuve de Mingazzini
Epreuve du Serment: tenue et symétrique.
In another place it says "Le Serment et le Mingazzini sont bien tenus"
I think this has something to do with holding the forearm and hand as if taking an oath.
The medical center is in Belgium.

Next, ask the patient to extend and raise both arms in front of them as if they were carrying a pizza. Ask the patient to keep their arms in place while they close their eyes and count to 10. Normally their arms will remain in place. If there is upper extremity weakness there will be a positive pronator drift, in which the affected arm will pronate and fall. This is one of the most sensitive tests for upper extremity weakness.
Pronator drift is an indicator of upper motor neuron weakness. In upper motor neuron weakness, supination is weaker than pronation in the upper extremity, leading to a pronation of the affected arm. This test is also excellent for verification of internal consistency, because if a patient fakes the weakness, they almost always drop their arm without pronating it.

Strictly speaking, the result of the test is the presence (abnormal) or absence (normal) of pronator drift.
To be perfectly clear, for "Epreuve du Serment: tenue et symétrique", I would perhaps write:
Pronator drift test: no sign/evidence of weakness either side
and for "sont bien tenues" - "no evidence of weakness"

Note that the "serment" is for upper limb weakness and the "Mingazzini" for lower limb weakness.
