My guest this week is Scot Morrison. Scot is a board certified orthopaedic physical therapist and certified strength coach. In this conversation, Scot summarises six steps for measuring strength in clinical practice. You will learn the importance of accepting uncertainty in measurement, how to minimise error with a standardised testing routine and the importance of interpreting test findings to the person being tested.
This is a discussion aimed at health professionals. Always seek the guidance of a qualified health professional with any questions you may have regarding your health or a medical condition.
