It looks at strength, balance, control, and confidence during activities like squatting, stepping, or hopping. It is commonly used in orthopedics, sports medicine, and physical therapy to guide rehabilitation and activity decisions. It can complement imaging and a physical exam by showing what the joint can do, not just what it looks like."}
