The Side Plank Elevated With Leg Raises is an advanced endurance test combining side plank support with repeated or sustained top-leg movement. It challenges lateral trunk endurance, shoulder support, hip abductor endurance and pelvic control. Related side bridge research supports lateral trunk endu...

Testing neck lateral flexion isometric strength with a Muscle Meter involves assessing the maximum force or tension that the neck muscles on one side of the neck can generate when contracting isometrically in a lateral (side-to-side) direction. This test can be useful for evaluating the strength of ...

Here's how you can test neck extension isometric strength using Muscle Meter:

Materials Needed:

1. Muscle Meter: This is a device used to measure force or muscle strength. It typically consists of a handle and a sensor that quantifies the force applied.

2. Adjustable chair or bench: A stable su

Here is a general overview of the testing protocol for prone hip external rotation (ER) isometric strength:

1. Have the client adopt a prone position on a massage table, with the testing leg flexed at the knee to 90 degrees.
2. It is recommended that the practitioner set themselves up on the contralat...

To test prone hip internal rotation (IR) isometric strength with a Muscle Meter, you can follow these steps:

1. Have the client adopt a prone position on a massage table, with the testing leg flexed at the knee to 90 degrees.
2. The practitioner should manually bring the client’s leg into roughly 5 de...

To test toe extension isometric strength, follow these general steps:

1. Have the client adopt a supine position, lying down on a table with their shoes and socks off. Ask the client to slide down the table until their toes of the testing foot are hanging just over the edge of the table. 
2. To ensure...

To test toe flexion isometric strength, follow these general steps:

1. Have the client adopt a supine position, lying down on a table with their shoes and socks off. Ask the client to slide down the table until their toes of the testing foot are hanging just over the edge of the table. 
2. To ensure t...

The Shoulder External Rotation 0° Test measures how far the shoulder rotates outward with the arm by the side and the elbow flexed. It can be assessed actively or passively using a goniometer, inclinometer or smartphone ROM tool. The result helps track shoulder rotation, compare sides and add contex...

The Shoulder Internal Rotation 0° Test measures how far the shoulder rotates inward with the arm by the side and the elbow flexed. It can be assessed actively or passively using a goniometer, inclinometer or smartphone ROM tool. The result helps track shoulder rotation, compare sides and add context...

The Prone Hip External Rotation Test measures how far the hip rotates outward with the client lying face down and the knee bent. It can be tested actively or passively using a goniometer or inclinometer. The result helps compare sides, monitor hip rotation and add context to squatting, gait, running...

The Prone Hip Internal Rotation Test measures how far the hip rotates inward with the client lying face down and the knee bent. It can be assessed actively or passively using a goniometer or inclinometer. The result helps compare sides, monitor hip rotation change and add context to running, squatti...
