Description:

Set up verbal instructions:

  • Lie flat with the back of your knees against the board, feet together with toes pointing up
  • Place both arms next to your body with the palms facing up
  • With the scoring leg remaining straight and the back of the opposite knee maintaining contact with the board, raise your scoring leg as high as possible

Tips for teaching:

  1. The moving limb identifies the side being scored
  2. Make sure the non-moving limb maintains a neutral position
  3. Repeat the test on both sides
  4. The client can perform the movement up to three times on each side if necessary
  5. Only move stick if a definitive vertical reference is needed at the border of 1 or 2 at mid-joint line
  6. Ask them to bring their feet together as close as Then perform the test from that position. Soles of feet still need to be perpendicular to the ground

Scoring:

3:

  • Vertical line of the malleolus resides between mid-thigh and ASIS
  • The non-moving limb remains in neutral position

2:

  • Vertical line of the malleolus resides between mid-thigh and mid-patella
  • The non-moving limb remains in neutral position

1:

  • Vertical line of the malleolus resides below the mid-patella
  • The non-moving limb remains in neutral position
