"cable tensiometer", "physical function test battery", " up -and- go"

I'm reading a document about geriatry and there are some phrases I don't understand. Please tell me about these phrases:

- cable tensiometer

- physical function test battery'( what does 'battery' mean, it is not the battery we use for radio or lamp, is it?)

- "up- and -go" test ( the author says it is a test item for agility and dynamic balance)

Thank you
