- Preparation: Comprehension of task with normal response time
- Initiation: Symmetrical forward weight shift without lag in speed is visible with proper sequencing where bilateral feet are positioned posterior to knees
- Execution: Head, trunk, and limbs remained symmetrical with appropriate amplitude for transition with adequate range of motion. Arms remained on lap throughout without assistance required
