What is recorded during the Step Tap Test?

What is recorded during the Step Tap Test?

• A. Heart rate and blood pressure
• B. Time and errors
• C. Step count
• D. Ambulation speed

Answer: (B)

The Step Tap Test focuses on how quickly and accurately someone can complete a predefined tapping (or stepping) sequence. The outcomes recorded are the total time to finish and the number of errors made during the sequence. This combination reflects both speed and precision in motor control and sequencing. Heart rate and blood pressure aren’t scored because they don’t measure task performance, and step count or ambulation speed isn’t relevant to this tapping/stepping task.
