Abstract: A system and method of objectively testing the functional capacity of a patient over a range of motion and with a limited resistance are provided. A selected number of visual indicators are applied and maintained at selected points with respect to the patient. The patient is directed through a series of exercise movements. The patient's movements are captured on a video record. This video record is digitized. The motion of the indicators is tracked in the digitized video record. A patient data set is developed including performance parameters based, at least in part, on the position and the time of each indicator during the movements. The patient data set is compared to a base data set. If the patient's performance parameters fall within certain ranges, it can be determined that the patient is or is not exerting a true effort. The functional capacity of the patient is determined based, at least in part, on the comparison of the patient data set with the base data set.

Abstract: A convertible table/cart which includes a plurality of wheels positioned underneath a planar surface. A plurality of legs/sides may be positioned either underneath the surface for use as a table or on top of the surface for use as a cart. Also disclosed is a method of converting the table to the cart.

Abstract: A mobile assessment apparatus with an assessment unit for testing functional capacity of individuals. The assessment apparatus includes a base attached to vertical supports and a pair of straps which attach the tops of the vertical supports to the base for added stability. The assessment unit is located on the vertical supports and may be moved up or down to adjust a vertical position of the unit. A counterweight apparatus, such as a pair of spring-loaded spools, is attached to the assessment unit so that a user can more easily adjust its position. The assessment apparatus comes apart quickly and easily so that it can fit within a car for transporting the apparatus.
