Abstract
An improved wireless physical testing system allows for communication between multiple wireless physical testing instruments and a recording device. The capability to use multiple wireless testing instruments simultaneously allows a test operator to perform tests that accurately simulate life activities for tests such as occupational testing, therapy, or disability testing.
