    Description

      Observations related to physical activities can involve specific body sites that may not be precoordinated in Observation.code. 

      For example, time to balance on one foot (a predictor of longevity*) may depend on laterality (right foot might be considerably stronger than left foot). 

      Strength observations might focus on a particular muscle group. 

      Flexibility observations might focus on a particular joint (e.g., measuring how far a person's left index finger can flex or straighten). 

      Therefore, bodySite should not be 0..0.
