The test you're referring to is known as the "Blumberg sign" or rebound tenderness test. While it is not specifically performed by tapping the bottom of the foot, it involves pressing down on the abdomen and then quickly releasing to check for pain, which can indicate appendicitis. If pain occurs upon release, it may suggest peritoneal irritation, commonly associated with appendicitis.
