CNS Tap Test is an adaptation of the Finger Tap Test (FTT) or Finger Oscillation Test (FOT) which is used to measure the status of the central nervous system (CNS), and is one of the most commonly used tests in neuropsychology, because of its simplicity and reliability, and because it generates relevant data about fine motor control, which is based on motor speed as well as kinesthetic and visual-motor ability.
The application should be used on a regular basis to determine an athlete’s baseline. If the CNS Tap Test result is elevated it is suitable for a maximum effort or a heavy lifting day. If the CNS Tap Test result is lower than average it may indicate CNS fatigue and impending sickness, injury or over-training.
Both hands should be tested on a regular basis in a consistent environment, typically every morning on waking. The procedure for testing is:
- Rest hand palm down on the heel of the hand on a flat surface
- Tapping is done with the index (pointing finger), and all other fingers remain on the flat surface
- The timer starts with the first tap
- When the timer expires no further taps will be accepted
- The result can either be saved or discarded.
Multiple samples can be saved per day.
The resulting data can be graphed, emailed or managed from within CNS Tap Test.

App due a refresh
It would be great to see App refresh and the time of day added to the graphs to see best performance?
Really useful
Helps me assess my neural fatigue level, and adjust my training day by day to allow optimal recovery! 10/10
Awesome simpel tap test
Love it. It works. Would love to pull in/intergrate data from sleep tracker and step tracker apps. Or sync with calendar.
Easy to use but needs to save more information
The test is very easy, but the data which is stored is not enough and it only stores one test per day which defeats the point for me. I will continue to use the app for testing, but am recording to my own spreadsheet immediately after testing. Requests: - allow unlimited tests per day - include time (of day) in data export - put date in ISO standard: yyyy-mm-dd Additional features: - reminders
Excellent.
People constantly talk about how they have 'fried' their cns but the body is much more resilient than they think. This app will allow you to see whether or not it is by using a simple tap test. Takes less than 30 seconds and gives you valuable information to use for your training day. The developer is constantly updating his apps and has other things lined up in the future. Excellent!
