24. *Although the above assessments are required to be in your toolkit, please also take advantage of completing the assessment critiques utilizing the template for other assessments that you will review in your courses, as you will utilize these in practice (fieldwork, BPC, when clinically working after graduating, etc.) and they are on your board exam. Dr. Gross is aware that you have this template, and it is encouraged you complete a sheet on assessments she will cover such as the 9-Hole Peg Test, Semmes-Weinstein Monofilament, 2-Point Discrimination, etc. Other assessments that are helpful to include in your toolkit that you have gone over in Anatomy or will be reviewing with Dr. Murray are: Berg Balance, TUG, Tinetti, etc.
