I'm reading a document about geriatry and there are some phrases I don't understand. Please tell me about these phrases:  - cable tensiometer   = instruments that measure tension in cable, fiber, belts and webs, or sheets. In medical terms, it is used to measure the strength of the muscle groups.  - physical function test battery'( what does 'battery' mean, it is not the battery we use for radio or lamp, is it?) "a battery of tests" = a whole series of tests, one after another.  -  "up- and -go" test ( the author says it is a test item for agility and dynamic balance) "Get up and go test" = tests the person's ability to stand up from a chair, move around for a short period, sit down again, Thank you
