Auxiliary Test Equipment |
||
| The following equipment is recommended : | ||
| Test room surface | ||
| A
normal surface that is hard, smooth, flat, not carpeted and not slippery
should be used. If possible the test person should be barefooted. |
||
| Foam surface | ||
| The
foam should have a height of 10 cm, length 250 cm, width 44 cm and a
density of 25 kg/m³ (40% DIN 53577). The length is necessary to
accommodate tandem walking tasks. |
||
|
Stool |
||
| A simple armless stool without
rollers and adjustable in height should be used. The height of the stool
should be adjusted so that the test person’s knees form a right
angle. The starting position for the arms should be hanging down, not
resting on the knees. |
||
| Stairs | ||
A set of stairs with two upward and two downward steps and with a step height of 23 cm and preferably
no handrails can be used.
|
||
| Barriers | ||
Construction bricks (21 cm high) and wooden slats (3 x 3 x 120 cm) can be used. When the wooden slats are laid
across the bricks, they act as a barrier 24 cm high. Four such barriers, spread
1m apart, should be used. |
