Standard sit and reach tests use a reference point and test procedure which does not
allow for variations in length of arms and legs of the person being tested. With long arms
and short legs, you will do well. With long legs and short arms, you are at a great
disadvantage. We have recognized the limits of the existing test and, in conjunction with
several world renowned sports medicine professionals, have developed the Acuflex I
Modified Sit & Reach Test. With Acuflex I, we have limited the variables and are
finally testing true trunk and hamstring flexibility!

A Favorite of Golf Pros! By agreement, this test is called “trunk
rotation” but it actually tests the flexibility of a set of body parts, including
ankles, knees, trunk, shoulder and neck. Limitations of any one of these parts will
reflect on the test results. With Acuflex II, you can quickly and easily re-test and
evaluate the effectiveness of your exercise programs. Doctors and other health
professionals can use this device to measure flexibility as part of aging profiles, to
test students and, of course, to test world class athletes.
Maximum reach indicator.
Attractive design.
Mounts on wall on 32” centers.
Complete instructions.
One-year warranty.
Reads in inches.
Quickly adjusts for the heights of children or adults.
Shoulder rotation is a vital factor for many sports. Lack of flexibility may indicate
possible arthritic development--not only in the geriatric population, but in athletes such
as pitchers, quarterbacks, tennis players, and others. Many professionals who would like
to perform this test do not have the calipers necessary to measure bicromial width. With
the Acuflex III, calipers have been engineered into the product at minimum cost, providing
a low-cost solution for effective shoulder rotation and flexibility testing.
