How to Perform the Test (Back Scratch Test)

This test measures the flexibility of your shoulder joints. You will need a ruler or measuring tape.

Test Right Shoulder: Stand up straight. Reach your right arm over your right shoulder, with your palm down and fingers extended towards the floor.
Simultaneously, reach your left arm up your back from below, with your palm facing out and fingers pointing up.
Attempt to touch the fingers of both hands together. Do not strain.
Have a partner measure the distance between the tips of your middle fingers.
- If fingers overlap, record as a positive (+) value (e.g., +2 inches).
- If fingers touch, record as 0.
- If there is a gap, record as a negative (-) value (e.g., -3 inches).
Test Left Shoulder: Repeat the process, but this time reach your left arm over your left shoulder and your right arm up your back.

Enter the distance you measured for each shoulder. Use negative numbers for gaps.
