The test is tailored to school-aged children and young adults among the ages of 4-21 years, who have varying motor control abilities ranging from normal to mild or moderate.1
- BOT-2 SF was created to be a quick screening of the patient's total motor abilities in a shortened amount of time compared to the complete form.1
