Answer:

The correct answer is C. Shark skill test.

Explanation:

The shark skill test is an exercise that intends to assess agility on the lower extremities and improve neuromuscular control.

To perform a shark skill test, the client must stand on one leg in the center box of a grid and then he is commanded to jump to each box (with only one leg) and then return to the center box in a designated pattern.

If the client's knees are falling in during a single-leg squat assessment, shark skill tests should be avoided or modified as this assessments heavily relies on balance and the condition of the client's knees.
