   Hi Wayne, what worries me about something like this is that it is
great for someone with a stable condition, but it can be very inaccurate
for someone who's condition is somewhat more flexible or depending on
the time of day or how many other tests and stress preceded it. I think
it can make for a great back up to uphold someones prejudices against
hiring the disabled in a job qualification survey. Alot of us are very
inconsistant from day to day on the range and amount of movement we can
do. While I have some area's a restriction that are consistant I have
others that are greatly affected by the weather, how much I have pushed
my limited physical strength and how much spastisity I'm having. I would
hate to be judged be a machine on a one period set of test monitored by
a machine. I'd rather have a PT or doctor who I've worked with for a
long time under all conditions make that diagnosis.
