Self Assessment

Self Assessment

Instructions:  Test each motion (1-2 reps each), one side at a time. Compare motions on the left, right, and center when possible.  Give yourself a score of 0-100 for each movement.  Don’t just concentrate on pain but also the ease of movement when comparing to the opposite side & center when possible.  Make sure you are doing them the same on each side.  There is a tendency to compensate when there is a restriction. Minimal differences score between 10-30, moderate differences 31-69, significant differences between 70-100.  An example of scoring would be comparing your right arm raise to your left.  If the left is 70% worse than the right, either because of pain or limits in movement, then score it a 70.  We also want to find out which movements feel good.  Those would be scored a zero.
