How many clues are produced in the one leg stand test when a subject balances with arms, hops, or puts a foot down?

In the one leg stand test, there are a total of three clues that are evaluated to determine a subject's level of impairment. These clues include balancing with arms (if arms are raised to maintain balance), hopping (if the subject begins to hop to keep from losing balance), and putting a foot down (if the subject places their foot on the ground in order to stabilize themselves). Each of these actions indicates a level of difficulty in maintaining balance, which is a sign of impairment and can suggest intoxication or an inability to perform physical tasks as required. Recognizing these specific actions helps law enforcement officers assess and document a subject's physical coordination as part of a field sobriety test.
