    The document describes two point-to-point movement tests: the finger-to-nose test, where the patient touches their finger to their nose with their eyes both open and closed, and the heel-knee-shin test, where the patient places their heel on their knee and runs it down their shin with their eyes both open and closed. Both tests are used to observe the patient's response and compare movements between left and right sides.
