ROM WBLT (Weight Bearing Lunge Test)

Position: Position your client standing facing a wall or support. The test foot is flat on the ground with the toes pointing straight ahead. The client lunges forward, driving the knee over the toes while keeping the heel flat. Hold the tablet against the shin, just below the knee.

Cues: Lunge forward and push your knee straight over your toes as far as you can, keeping your heel on the ground and your foot straight. Hold when you reach your maximum.

Step 4 – Instruct the client to lunge forward, bringing the knee straight over the toes slowly to their maximum range.
Step 5 – When they reach end range, tap the screen to capture the angle.
