Shoulder Arm Raise Assessment

1. Ready Position​

  • User stands facing the camera.
  • User’s arms are lowered, hanging down by their sides (arm angle less than 20° from the body).
  • System confirms this position, then gives a 3-second countdown.

2. Assessment Phase​

User raises both arms and holds them straight.

  • Once both arms are straight and raised to at least a 60° angle, system starts a 3-second countdown.
  • If the position is maintained throughout the countdown, the result is registered.

3. Restart Assessment If:​

  • Body turns: User torso rotates away from the camera.
  • Movement too fast: User raises arms too quickly.
  • Arms not straight: Elbows are bent (not fully straight).

4. Arm Angle Not High Enough:​

  • If either arm remains below 60° for 5 seconds:
    • System prompts: “Please raise your arms higher.”
    • Reminder lasts 5 seconds.
    • If still not ≥60° after reminder, system proceeds and logs the arm angle actually held.

Process Summary​

  1. Ready Position: User stands facing camera, arms at sides (less than 20° angle from body) → 3-second countdown
  2. Assessment: User raises and holds both arms straight.
    • If arms straight & ≥60°: 3-second hold, register.
  3. Restart if: Body turns, arms not straight, or movement too fast.
  4. If arms not raised enough: Prompt after 5 seconds, then log/continue if no improvement.
