Completely agree with the above comments... find out what they want to accomplish so that you can tailor the assessment appropriately. I would always test for HR/BP, and basic posture. +3 on the Gray Cook movement screen - and I concur with Brian that it takes practice.

As you become more skilled, consider other muscles testing evaluations... a classic but universally applicable book is Kendall's Muscle Testing and Function. I usually pull some ROM tests from it.

A couple of particularly useful muscle tests are; modified Thomas and a Fabers.
