No-kit assessments
Functional tests, no kit required
Validated performance-based measures you can run with a stopwatch, a standard chair, a wall, and a measured distance. No purchased test forms, no license, no certification. Every cutoff traces to its primary study, and every test lists its safety contraindications.
