- This is a two day test, please arrive on time both days.
- The test takes three hours on day one and two hours on day two.
- The evaluator must observe your body alignment and musculature
at all times, therefore minimal, but modest, clothing is required.
The area for testing is private and comfortable. Men will be shirtless
or wear a close fitting tank top and close fitting shorts. Ladies
may wear a sports bra, tight fitting tank top, or halter top and
close fitting shorts. Wear comfortable shoes: tennis shoes or work
boots are acceptable.
- Please make childcare arrangements and do not bring children to
the evaluation. Your full concentration and physical efforts are
required throughout the entire test.
- If someone accompanies you, they are free to wait in the waiting
room in suite 200. Observers are not allowed in the testing area.
- Take medications as you would on any other day.
- If you are already a Blue Ridge Neuroscience Center (BRNC) patient,
you do not need to bring your medications to this test. If you are
not an established patient with BRNC, you will need to bring your
medications in for us to record. We need the actual bottles, not
a written list.
- The evaluation is done by a Physical Therapist licensed in Tennessee
and Virginia, who is an employee of BRNC.
- Your safety is ensured throughout the entire test. Vital signs
(blood pressure and heart rate) are taken before testing and several
times throughout the evaluation.
- Your full cooperation is needed to get the most accurate results
for your referring doctor.
