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 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 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 Square Hop Test assesses lower-limb agility, power and neuromuscular control by asking the client to hop around a square pattern on one leg.
Introduction
Sport requires repeated direction changes, not just straight hops. The Square Hop Test challenges a client to hop accurately and quickly thr...
The Drop Jump Test assesses reactive strength by measuring how quickly and powerfully a client rebounds after dropping from a box. It is useful for plyometric readiness and monitoring stretch-shortening cycle performance.
Introduction
An athlete may jump high, but reactive sport movement often dep...
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...
The Single-Legged Timed Side Hop Function Test assesses repeated side-to-side hopping speed and control on one leg. It is useful for monitoring lateral hop capacity and side-to-side function.
Introduction
A client may feel confident in straight-line running but hesitate with repeated lateral hoppi...
The Vertical Jump Test measures lower-body explosive power by recording jump height. It is useful for assessing jump performance, monitoring training response and tracking readiness.
Introduction
A client may improve lower-limb strength, but does that strength transfer into explosive vertical powe...
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 Vertical Hop Test measures single-leg vertical power and landing control. It is useful for side-to-side comparison and monitoring lower-limb rehabilitation or performance progress.
Introduction
A two-leg vertical jump can hide side-to-side differences. The Vertical Hop Test helps assess how ea...
