This is a four to six-hour evaluation that focuses on major physical abilities related to strength, endurance, and flexibility. In preparing for your testing day, there are a few things to keep in mind:
- Please clear your schedule to allow you to participate in this evaluation with no interruptions for other scheduled appointments.
- Wear comfortable clothing. Please do not wear clothing that might restrict your movement. Shorts and a t-shirt or tank top are preferred. Wear shoes with covered toes and heels.
- Please remember to take any prescribed medication as scheduled; however, pain medication could skew the picture of your actual ability by masking your pain. We suggest that you refrain from taking non-prescription pain medication prior to the evaluation, if possible unless otherwise directed by your physician.
- If you wear glasses for reading, please remember to bring them with you as you will be doing paperwork and performing some fine dexterity tasks.
- Avoid the consumption of alcohol the night prior to your evaluation. Avoid caffeine on the day of your evaluation. It is recommended you bring a water bottle.
- Get a good night's rest the night before your test.
- Please silence your cell phone during the testing day to avoid interruptions.
- Please do not bring children to the appointment.
We look forward to meeting with you and completing your assessment at {{ClinicAddress}}.
