• Physical effort in respect to quality of performance, discomfort, and speed are made.

The tests and examinations are performed in respect to Safety, Reliability, Validity, Practicality, and Utility.  Findings and summaries are distributed in a timely fashion to referring sources.  Examinations may take between 4 to 10 hours to complete over 1 or 2 days.
