The doctor is performing a neurological exam. The test is to see if your proprioception is in tact. Proprioception is how you sense yourself and the space around you. You should be able to sense the direction your toe is moving without seeing where it is moving. There are several things that could cause this loss of proprioception and most are temporary.
