Q
Test
A
The SUSS (sit up squat and stand) test was developed to assist in the evaluation and assessment of anorexia nervosa.
It is a more accurate way of assessing power as conventional neurological examination of patients with anorexia often fails to pick up significant power deficits which result from muscle wasting.
The test involves getting a patient to sit up from a lying down position and then to squat and stand up again. It has a formal scoring schedule.
