For years, athletic trainers have used a variety of functional tests to assess a patientís progress, including sprinting tests, agility runs, figure eights, shuttle runs, carioca tests, side stepping, vertical jumps, hopping for time or distance and balance tests. Functional testing should be an easy task for athletic trainers and should be equally simple for patients to understand. Cost efficiency, time demands and space demands are important concepts when considering the tests to use.
