Functional testing is a central component of physiotherapy assessment and follow-up. Tests that evaluate strength, balance, endurance, and movement control provide structured insight into a patient’s capacity. However, the true value of testing lies not in the measurement itself, but in how results are interpreted and integrated into clinical decision-making.

All content on PhysioDock is free – but it costs to keep it running.
PhysioDock is built to be an open and accessible platform for physiotherapists, students, and patients alike. Here you’ll find articles, measurement tools, exercise libraries, diagnostic resources, and professional materials – all completely free.
Behind the scenes, however, there are hundreds of hours of work: research, writing, development, design, maintenance, testing, and updates. We do this because we believe in open knowledge and better health information.
If you’d like to support our work and help us continue developing and improving PhysioDock, we truly appreciate everyone who:
– subscribes to a PhysioDock+ membership
– uses and recommends PhysioDock in their work or studies
– shares PhysioDock with others
Every contribution makes a difference – and helps us keep the platform open to everyone.
Thank you for supporting PhysioDock!
