This appears in an admission report for a stroke patient:
EXAMEN CLINIQUE INITIAL
Hémiparésie gauche avec main creuse gauche et chute lente MIG
She has left hemiparesis, so I am wondering if it means something like "limp left hand"...?

In an Italian > English query it is said that the French "main creuse" is used in English as well: https://www.proz.com/kudoz/italian_to_english/medical_genera...
It seems that there are relatively few English references to this sign (and most of them from non-natives), because testing this sign is not part of the standard physical examination (report) in English-speaking countries.
