The Hip Modified Thomas Test assesses hip extension position and anterior hip or thigh length response while the client lies at the edge of a table. It can provide useful information about hip flexor and rectus femoris length, but pelvic position must be controlled carefully. The result should be re...
The First Toe Extension Test measures how far the big toe extends at the first metatarsophalangeal joint. It can be measured actively or passively using a goniometer, inclinometer or consistent ROM process. The result can help compare sides, monitor change and add context to walking, running, calf r...
The Knee Flexion Test measures how far the knee can bend. It is useful for baseline assessment, side-to-side comparison, progress tracking, return-to-training context and monitoring pain or symptoms during movement.
Introduction
Knee flexion range of motion is one of the most commonly recorded low...
The Ankle Plantarflexion Test measures how far the foot points downward at the ankle. It can be assessed actively or passively using a goniometer, inclinometer or consistent Measurz ROM process. The result helps compare movement between sides, monitor change over time and add context to calf, ankle,...
The Ankle Eversion Test measures how far the sole of the foot turns outward. It can be tested actively or passively using a goniometer, inclinometer or consistent ROM process. The result is useful for side-to-side comparison, movement monitoring and adding context to balance, gait, running and ankle...
The Ankle Dorsiflexion Test measures how far the ankle moves as the foot comes upward toward the shin. It can be measured actively, passively or in a weight-bearing position. The result helps compare ankle movement between sides, monitor change and add context to squatting, running, landing, balance...
The Knee Extension Test measures how close the knee gets to straight, or whether it moves into hyperextension. It is useful for monitoring knee mobility, side-to-side differences, pain with extension and progress across sessions.
Introduction
Knee extension is a key lower-limb ROM measure because ...
The Med Ball Throw Test assesses upper-body explosive power by measuring how far a client can throw a medicine ball from a standardised position.
Introduction
A client may have good pressing strength but still lack explosive upper-body power. The Med Ball Throw Test provides a practical field meas...
The Knee Prone Heel-to-Butt Test assesses how close the heel can move toward the buttock in prone. It provides useful information about knee flexion range, anterior thigh mobility, symptom response and side-to-side differences.
Introduction
The prone heel-to-butt position is a practical way to ass...
The Ankle Inversion Test measures how far the sole of the foot turns inward. It can be measured actively or passively, but the result is influenced by subtalar, midfoot and forefoot movement. Recording the method, side, pain, symptoms and compensation helps make the result useful for movement compar...
The Closed Kinetic Chain Upper Extremity Stability Test assesses upper-limb stability, power endurance and trunk control during repeated alternating hand touches in a push-up position.
Introduction
A client may have full shoulder range and good isolated strength but still struggle to support body ...
The Single Leg Rebound Test assesses lower-limb power, rebound ability and landing control. It is useful for monitoring unilateral explosive performance and side-to-side differences.
Introduction
A client may hop well from a still position but struggle to absorb and rebound after a preparatory hop...
