I’m having a think over what tests i should used for certain clients. Just wondering if you would know/could explain the Klatt test used in Charles Poliquin’s lower body structural balance?
I’m aware that it is a lower body test and that certain information can be gained from what happens to the leg on landing. Just would like to know what to look for and what levels to start the drop from/progress to etc..
(I have been searching online, but not much info - as far as i can see)
-Also, out of interest, what sort of procedure do you go through with a new client?
This is an area I’d like to improve in as well. Where I got my licence testing of mobility was done by simply flexing, abducting and extending joints to check ROM. Today this strikes me as inadequate. Assessing mobility in actual movements is clearly much more useful. I would like to learn Gray Cook testing or something similar, but I haven’t found anyone in my town who knows how to do it. Some info here, or even a future a article on mobility testing would be much appreaciated.
Thanks! I’m also considering buying Eric Cressey’s “Assess and Correct”. It’s just so damn expensive when you have to ship it across the Atlantic and pay all sorts of toll fees on top.

I have used the Klatt test for a long time. BUT I’m not comfortable describing it online as it is a test based on observation and small details play a large importance. Trying to apply it from a written source would invariably lead to misdiagnostics.
