Not only is this completely wrong, but it’s negligent and potentially harmful. An isokinetic dynamometer is the gold standard for assessing force production and how quickly you can produce that force, which is vital for reducing the risk of injury. A single leg squat doesn’t come close to reproducing the forces experienced during sport, which is why knee valgus during a single leg squat is NOT a risk factor for injury (Nilstad 2021, Petushek 2021). Many clinicians are using the traditional hop tests less (at least in isolation) because research consistently shows that patients may demonstrate symmetry by compensating or unintentionally performing worse on their uninvolved leg (Wren 2018). And the forward reach is 100% not an appropriate substitute. There’s only so much information that can be put into a 60 second video. Check out these resources to learn more:

The rotator cuff consists of the supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor, and subscapularis. These originate on your scapula, or shoulder blade, and insert on different parts of your humerus, or upper arm. As a whole, they provide dynamic stability to the shoulder joint, while individually, they assist with various shoulder movements, including abduction, adduction, internal rotation, and external rotation. Since these muscles contribute to multiple shoulder movements along with other muscles, you really cannot isolate the rotator cuff. Even with external rotation, which is performed mostly by the infraspinatus and teres minor, you will receive some assistance from the posterior deltoid. Therefore, in order to maximize rotator cuff strength, our recommendation would be to focus on a comprehensive program. This will better prepare you for a wide variety of tasks and activities involving the shoulder. To demonstrate what we mean, let’s consider the biceps. If you perform pull ups and rows, these exercises will secondarily work the biceps. However, if your goal was to maximize strength and hypertrophy of the biceps, you would also incorporate isolation exercises, like a biceps curl. The rotator cuff is no different. Compound pushing and pulling exercises at various angles will challenge the rotator cuff, but if you want to train your shoulders to their full potential, a comprehensive program that also includes isolation exercises in different directions will likely be the most optimal. These are just SOME external rotation strengthening options. Learn more:
