Determine which of the six subtests you would like to complete. Automatically all are selected when you
open the test screen. Click on them to de-select particular sub-tests. If you de-select an occasional
protocol, automatically the frequent protocol and possibly another occasional protocol will be de-selected
based on the EPIC protocol.
Before completing weight verification set the shelf heights. The shelf heights are based on the height you
entered in the client’s case information. Next, click on Weight Verification. You will be asked to take the
shelf or any attachments off the FOCUS Load Cell and click OK. You will then be prompted to attach the
shelf to the load cell and click OK. Make sure the shelf is in completely, the pin in place and tightened.
Next you will be prompted to place 20 pounds on the shelf and then click OK twice. If more than one
dynamic lifting or carrying protocol is being used for a particular client on the same day, this only needs to
be done once. If this has been done previously, click on Weight Verification and click on the bottom OK
to proceed with testing.
Once this has been completed you will be brought back to the testing screen and the Weight Verification
button changes to the Start button. Make sure the client is wearing the heart rate monitor prior to starting
the test. If you are measuring the heart rate manually, click on Options and select capturing the heart
rate manually. To enter in the heart rate manually, enter in the value and hit the enter key.

load cell. Once Start has been clicked on, if the correct weight is in the crate (refer to the Current Weight
box on the right hand side of the screen for more details), the computer will say continue. Once the
weight is returned to the shelf it will count the repetition. For all the other sub-tests, the crate is placed on
the lifting platform. Every time the client lifts the crate onto the load cell they must let go of the crate for a
few seconds to allow the system to weigh the crate. Click on the Verification On button to turn this
