During the walk and turn test, Jennifer did not touch heel to toe on each step, did not count as instructed, and took an incorrect number of steps in each direction. The final exercise was the one leg stand test, and Jennifer was unable to raise her foot in the proper fashion, and she put her foot down before the test was complete. First test I'm going to run you through, uh, we're going to do what's called the walk and turn test. So, what I'm going to do now is I'm going to have you go in the starting position of the test.

That's my mistake. >> Okay. >> All right. And then hands down at your sides. >> Mhm. >> All right. Perfect. Just hold that. So when I tell you to begin, you're going to take nine heel to toe steps like this. One, two, three. I'm only doing three just for demonstration purposes. Like I said, you're going to do nine. When you come to that nine steps, you're going to keep your lead foot on the ground and you're going to take a series of small steps. That's going to look like this. Okay? And then you're going to continue and do nine more steps back. Okay? And it's going to look one, two, three. When I tell you to start, keep going. Do not stop the test until you've completed all nine steps. Do you understand? Okay?

So, when I tell you to begin, you're going to raise one foot approximately 6 in 6 in off the ground with your foot parallel to the ground. That's going to look like this. When you begin, you're going to count out loud. 1,001,002 1,003 and so on until I tell you to stop. Okay? >> Does it matter which foot? >> No, you can do either one. >> Okay? >> Just give me one before you begin. Don't start just yet. Do you have a Do you have a watch there ready, Sergeant?
