Hello Physios out there!

I am preparing myself for the clinical exam in Canada. Therefore, I would like to ask some questions.

Assessing tone on upper extremities after a stroke.

Q1: do I start proximally with scapula or distally with fingers / thumb
Q2: do I assess the other side prior of the affected side ?
Q3: do I assess scapula movements in supine or in sidelying?
Q4: do I have to count one, one thousand as I go through the movement?


Ortho:
How do I mobilize a patient with total hip arthroplasty posterior or
anterior approach on the R-side on day 1 out of bed? Do I go over the
affected side or the unaffected side? I was taught to go over the affected side but reading some notes I've noticed that they might go over the unaffected side.

Any ideas? Shouldn't be too hard for a english-trained physio.
I appreciate your support.
Thank you very much.
Roman
