Physical Assessments: Fundamental Strength Screens 09:03

The idea of successful aging is not exclusive to the older adult population. In fact, due to an ever-increasing sedentary lifestyle, we are starting to see a loss of function and movement capability at much earlier ages. 

The AHHPS can help an individual achieve and sustain 3 primary strength qualities that are imperative for successful aging for all adults free of disease or disability:

1) Ground to Standing (which includes pushing up off the ground and then transitioning to a standing posture)

2) Bend and Lift a Mass

3) Lift and Shift a Mass
