DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

the Four Square Step test

A square will be formed by using four 90 cm long canes placed on the ground. The sequence will be explained and demonstrated to the participants. They will be allowed one practice trial and subsequently two trials. Instructions will be given and encouraged to complete the sequence as fast as possible without touching the canes. The sequence of trial was 1,2,3,4,1,4,3,2,1. If a participant touch the canes, or perform the test sequence inaccurately, or both feet of the participant do not make contact with the floor in each square, the trial will be considered as unsuccessful and the test will be repeated. One unsuccessful trial will be allowed. The best time will be taken as the score of FSST which are completed successfully.
