How to Perform a MoveTest
This section provides guidelines to ensure reliable and consistent measurements.
Incorrect execution may lead to analysis errors.
General Guidelines
Each test must be marked with:
• A start marker
• A stop marker
Make sure the test is fully contained between the start and stop markers to ensure succesful analysis of the test.
If needed, use the Cancel button to remove incorrect markers.
On the examples below, the green planes indicates the marked time intervals. The first test was marked incorrectly because the start marker was set too late (after the movement started). The second test was marked correctly.


Sit-to-Stand Test
• Start and end with back against the chair
• Fully extend the trunk when standing
• End seated against the chair
Timed Up and Go Test
• Start and end seated against the chair
• Walking begins after standing
GaitTest
• Walk back and forth between markers
• Mark steady-state walking
It is important to avoid turns in the walking trajectory.

SwayTest
Instructions:
Help subject into position
Provide minimal support
Ask “Are you ready?”
Say “Ready, begin” and mark start
End marker is automatic
Say “Stop”
If balance is lost:
• Stop the trial
• Mark as incomplete
6-Minute Walk Test
• Include clear 180° turns
• Walking aids are allowed
• Resting is allowed
Starting the test will trigger the 6-minute count down. The stop marker is automatically placed after 6 minutes. The test can be terminated earlier if the subject must stop with the test.
Multiple Trials
Ensure clear separation between trials when multiple trials are performed in one MoveTest session:
• Let the subject sit or stand still briefly
• Avoid overlap between trials
