Are you comfortable in those shoes and pants you're wearing? Yep, I'm good. All right. Anything wrong with your legs, hips, or ankles? Nope. All right. So, what I'm going to do, I'm going to put you in the starting position for this test. As soon as I put you in that position, I want you to remain in that position while I demonstrate and explain the test. Do not start the test until I tell you to do so. Do you understand so far? Yep. All right. What we're going to do is we're going to envision a straight line right down the center of the sidewalk. All right, you able to do that, envision a straight line? Yep.

Just remain in this position while I demonstrate and explain the test. Do you understand? Yep. All right. When I tell you to begin and not before, what you're going to do is you're going to take nine heel-to-toe steps down this line. On your ninth step, keep your front foot planted, use your back foot to do a series of small choppy steps turning around, then you're going to take a series of nine heel-to-toe steps back on the line. Okay. While you're doing this, make sure your arms are down at your side, you're looking at your feet, and you're counting each step out loud. All right, I'm going to demonstrate the test so you know what it's going to look like. So, you're in the starting position like this, I'm going to tell you to begin, you're going to go one, two, three. I only went to three, you're going to continue all the way to nine. On the ninth step, keep your front foot planted, do a series of small choppy steps turning around, then one, two, three. Again, I only went to three, you're going to continue all the way to nine.

All right, you can turn around normal and face me. Our next test is called the one-leg stand. Do you think you'd be able to stand on one foot for a short period of time? I have really bad balance, but yeah. All right. So, again, I'm going to put you in the starting position. So, that's both your feet together, heels touching and toes touching, arms down at your side. Just remain in this position while I demonstrate and explain this test. When I tell you to begin and not before, what you're going to do is you're going to lift one leg, whichever one you choose, and hold your foot about 6 in off the ground, keeping your foot parallel to the ground. You're going to look at your toe and count out loud, "1,001, 1,002, 1,003" and so on until I tell you to stop. Okay. During this entire test, make sure both your legs are straight, your foot's about 6 in off the ground, your foot's parallel to the ground, you're looking at your toe, and you're counting out loud as I demonstrate.
