Each tasks that take 1.5 - 3 minutes each and as soon as you've completed the assessment, a report will be instantly generated and available for your healthcare professional to review with you.

How Will Results Be Used?

Results for each task you complete will indicate where you stand relative to others in your age group. Over time, and as you progress through treatment, you’ll begin to see performance trends so that you can objectively evaluate how treatment is affecting you. Your healthcare professional will use this information during intake to ensure they target the right areas during treatment, and then re-assess periodically to measure progress.
