F.R.O.M. Upper Level Reach – Occ
PREREQUISITES
The test subject is asked to stand next to the side panel of the BTE Functional Range of Motion System
and raise his/her right arm with fingers extended to the highest level of the test apparatus while remaining
with both feet flat on the floor. The highest row reached with the distal tip of the middle finger exceeding
the top of the peg hole will be the highest row used during the evaluation. If the fingertip does not exceed
the top of the peg hole, the next highest row is used. The height of the top row used must be recorded in
the comments section.
PROCESS
The test subject is instructed to move five rows of pegs from Panel 1 to the corresponding row of holes in
Panel 2. The transfer process requires the test subject to take the peg out of the hole with the left hand,
transfer it to the right hand while the peg is out of the hole, and then place the peg into the corresponding
hole with the right hand. The test subject commences with the highest level row and then proceeds in
order to the lowest level row. Once the fifteen pegs have been moved, the process is completed in
reverse order until all fifteen pegs are restored to their original position. This constitutes the completion of
one cycle. The test is concluded when a total of five cycles are completed.
