Medical - Medical (general)
Finnish term or phrase: DDK SNK
These are to do with testing coordintaion in a patient. But I cannot tell if they are Finnish only or international (though surely DDK is not originally Finnish). Or is DDK the same as SNK?

Diadochokinesis / Student-Neuman-Keuls
Explanation:
By googling "DDK-testi" I found the Finnish explanation for DDK as "diadokokineesi - toistuvien liikkeiden tarkkuus". By googling SNK I ended up with three surnames (of researchers?) Student-Neuman-Keuls. So it seems that both abbreviations may be used both in Finnish and English.

neutral  Anu Carroll: Agree with "diadochokinesis" for DDK, but SNK more likely "finger-to-nose test" (sormi-nenänpääkoe).

  -> Indeed you are right! Student-Newman-Keuls is some sort of a statistical comparison method. Thank you for this correction!
