The Ankle 1st Toe Extension Strength Test measures how much force a client can produce when lifting the big toe upward against resistance. It is commonly used to assess hallux extension force output in a controlled isometric setup.

This test can provide useful context for foot clearance, toe contro...

The Ankle 1st Toe Flexion Strength Test measures how much force a client can produce when pressing the big toe downward against resistance. It is commonly used to assess hallux flexion force output in a controlled isometric setup.

This test can provide useful context for foot strength, push-off cap...

The Hip Bridge Test assesses hip extension endurance, posterior-chain capacity and pelvic control using double-leg or single-leg bridge positions. The single-leg version has stronger research support than the double-leg version because recent work has examined single-leg bridge endurance values, cli...

The Wall Sit Single-Leg Test is a unilateral lower-limb strength endurance assessment where the client holds a single-leg wall sit position for as long as possible. The existing Measurz article describes it as a test focused on quadriceps and anterior thigh endurance strength, with the result record...

The Single Leg Hamstring Bridge is another great strength assessment for posterior chain lower limb strength that requires little equipment to perform.

Research by Freckleton, Cook, and Pizzari, 2013 investigated this test and its risk of a hamstring injury in football players finding that those wh...

The Single Leg Adductor Raises test is a physical fitness assessment that evaluates an individual's strength and endurance of the adductor muscles in the inner thigh. This test involves lying on one side and lifting the top leg while keeping it straight and the foot flexed.

The Adductor raise...

The Single Leg Side Plank Raises test is a physical fitness assessment that focuses on the lateral stability of the core and hip muscles. This test involves assuming a side plank position and lifting the top leg while keeping it straight and the foot flexed.

To perform the Single Leg Side Plank Rai...

The Single-Leg Sit-to-Stand in 30 Seconds records how many valid single-leg sit-to-stand repetitions a client can complete in 30 seconds. It is a unilateral endurance variation and should not be compared directly with double-leg 30-second chair stand norms.

Introduction

The test combines single-le...

The Single-Leg Adductor Plank is a Copenhagen-style adductor endurance assessment. Exact endurance norms are limited, but related research supports Copenhagen adduction testing and newer work has investigated test-retest reliability for measuring eccentric hip adductor strength during the Copenhagen...

The Single-Leg Sit-to-Stand Test assesses unilateral lower-limb performance by requiring the client to stand from a seated position using one leg. Research has reported inter-rater and test-retest reliability for single-leg sit-to-stand methods when chair height, setup and scoring are standardised. ...

The Posterior Shoulder Endurance Test, or PSET, is an isometric endurance test performed to task failure. Peer-reviewed research has investigated intra-rater reliability, inter-rater reliability and minimal detectable change for the PSET, supporting its use when the test is standardised.  

Introduc...

The Side Plank Test, also known as the side bridge test, assesses lateral trunk endurance by recording how long a client can maintain a side plank position. McGill’s trunk endurance research reported high reliability for side bridge testing and highlighted ratios between side bridge, flexor and exte...
