position, then rocking back and touching the buttocks to the
heels and the chest to the thighs. The hands should remain in
front of the body, reaching out as far as possible. If there is pain
associated with this motion, give a zero and perform a more
thorough evaluation or refer out. If the individual receives a

Raw Score: This score is used to denote right and left side scoring. The right and left sides are scored in five of the
seven tests and both are documented in this space.
Final Score: This score is used to denote the overall score for the test. The lowest score for the raw score (each side)
is carried over to give a final score for the test. A person who scores a three on the right and a two on the left would
receive a final score of two. The final score is then summarized and used as a total score.
