Step 2. Position the patient as described in Section 06-IV of this manual.
Step 3. Click Start Test to begin testing.
Step 4. Once each side is completed, a pain scale will appear. Ask the patient to rate
his/her pain on a ten-point scale (0 is equivalent to no pain and 10 is equivalent to the
worst pain possible). Click on the number the patient determined and then click OK.
The Strength Lateral test calls for three trials to be performed per side.
As the protocol is performed, the screen will display the results and averages via a line
graph, table, pie chart, and bar graph.
In addition to the test results, the screen will tabulate: the average force, peak force,
coefficient of variation (COV), and the percent of normal. The pain ratings determined
by the patient will also appear in the pain scale text field (Figure 6-84).
