▪ Do you understand the instructions?
The person must perform a minimum of 3 successful repetitions, continuing until the next reach does not improve the final score. Once the max distance is achieved you would repeat on the opposite side.
Lastly, with shoes on determine the person’s foot length by placing the heel on 0 and measuring the distance from the heel to the most distal part of the shoe. Record the measurement to the nearest half-inch or centimeter depending on the device.
TIPS FOR TESTING
▪ Ensure the heel of the stance leg staus in contact with the board during rep.
▪ The heel coming up will almost always be the limiting factor
▪ Maintain contact with the slidebox during reach and don’t kick it forward.
▪ Don’t use the slidebox for stance or support
▪ Return to starting position under control, not allowing foot to touch te ground
▪ Do not coach the movement simply repeat the instructions if needed.

The person should also be able to reach greater than 2 times foot length and above the environment specific minimum threshold (based on age, gender, sport/activity).
EXAMPLE:

The foot Length for this testis considered 11.5 inches.
