The Shoulder Adduction Test measures how far the arm moves toward the body’s midline from an abducted position. It should be distinguished from shoulder horizontal adduction, which moves the arm across the front of the body. The result helps compare sides, monitor symptoms and add context to upper-l...
The Shoulder Abduction Test measures how far the arm lifts out to the side and overhead. It can be assessed actively or passively using a goniometer, inclinometer or smartphone ROM tool. The result helps track overhead and side-reaching movement, compare sides and add context to shoulder strength, p...
The Shoulder Extension Test measures how far the arm moves backwards behind the body. It can be assessed actively or passively using a goniometer, inclinometer or smartphone-based ROM process. The result helps track shoulder movement, compare sides and add context to reaching, pressing, pulling, swi...
The Spine Rotation Test measures trunk rotation to the left and right. It can be assessed in seated, standing or lumbar-locked positions using an inclinometer, smartphone, goniometer, tape measure or observation. The result helps compare sides and monitor movement over time, but it should be interpr...
The Spine Lateral Flexion Test measures side-bending movement of the trunk and spine. It can be recorded using an inclinometer, tape measure, fingertip-to-thigh distance or another standardised method. The result helps monitor spinal movement and symptoms over time, but it should be interpreted with...
The Neck Extension Test measures how far the head and neck move backwards. It is usually assessed actively in sitting using a CROM device, inclinometer or smartphone tool. The result helps track cervical movement and symptoms over time, but it should be interpreted with pain response, dizziness, hea...
The Slump Test assesses symptom response during combined spinal flexion, knee extension and ankle movement. It is often used to explore neural mechanosensitivity or low-back-related leg symptoms, but it is not a stand-alone diagnostic test. The result should be recorded with symptom location, sympto...
The Straight Leg Raise Test measures how far the straight leg can be raised while the client lies supine. It can provide information about posterior thigh flexibility, hip flexion range and neural symptom response. The result should be recorded as an angle with pain score, symptom location, side com...
The Shoulder Flexion Test measures how far the arm lifts forward and overhead. It can be assessed actively or passively using a goniometer, inclinometer, smartphone tool or consistent ROM workflow. The result helps track overhead movement, compare sides and add context to pressing, reaching, throwin...
The Neck Rotation Test measures how far the head and neck turn left and right. It is usually assessed actively in sitting using a CROM device, inclinometer, compass-based smartphone tool or consistent clinical process. The result helps compare sides, monitor symptoms and track progress across sessio...
The Neck Lateral Flexion Test measures how far the head and neck side-bend to the left and right. It is usually assessed actively in sitting using a CROM device, inclinometer or smartphone tool. The result helps compare sides and monitor symptoms over time, but it should be interpreted with shoulder...
The Neck Flexion Test measures how far the head and neck move forward. It is usually assessed actively in sitting using a CROM device, inclinometer, smartphone tool or consistent observation process. The result helps track cervical movement, symptoms and side-to-side or session-to-session change, bu...
