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.
