Also known as flapping tremor, liver flap

Asterixis is a movement disorder that results in jerking of the hands or feet while attempting to hold a position. The resemblance of the hands to flapping wings gives it the colloquial name "flapping tremor" although it is a negative myoclonus rather than a tremor.
