MOVEMENT ACCESS

Mobility and Movement

Document usable range of motion, side-to-side measures, active control and position-specific compensation without presenting a medical diagnosis.

WHAT THIS CATEGORY MEANS

A movement profile, not a diagnosis

Mobility measures are sensitive to setup, assessor technique, warm-up, growth and anatomy. Results remain separate rather than being collapsed into one passing score.

PUBLISHED PROTOCOLS

Open Test Guide Protocol, forms and research

COMPARISON RULE

Compare like with like.

  • Use the same assessor and measurement landmarks when possible.
  • Do not force end range.
  • Keep symptoms and compensations alongside exact values.
  • Do not infer a tissue diagnosis from one field screen.

Movement testing is not medical screening

Stop for pain, numbness, tingling, weakness, dizziness, apprehension or guarding. Qualified healthcare professionals diagnose injury and establish rehabilitation or return-to-participation plans.
