What is Functional Testing?
Before a physical therapist can develop a treatment plan to help restore movement and function, alleviate pain, prevent further injury, and help with the healing process, an evaluation must be performed of the impacted area or functional limitation. After taking a comprehensive medical history, tests and measurements are done to assess the nature and degree of the problem. These can include tests of muscle strength, joint motion, sensory and neurological function, coordination, balance, flexibility, range of motion, posture.
