For the knuckle to shoulder occasional and frequent tests, the crate starts on the middle shelf with the
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. Once the weight has been lifted to the load cell and
taken off the computer will count the repetition.
Based on the parameters set up for the particular test (i.e. repetitions, ratings of exertion, etc) proceed
with testing. The software will alert you when the testing will stop if ratings of exertion, heart rate,
maximum protocol duration, maximum weight, or job demand level parameters have been met. To stop
the test otherwise click on Stop and a screen will appear asking for you to select the reason for stopping
the test (i.e. psychophysiological, biomechanical, etc).
Once the test has been completed the screen will look like the following.
