Manual Muscle Testing Grade Flashcards
5
“normal”
moves through full available PROM against gravity and maximum resistance
4
“good”
moves through full available PROM against gravity and moderate resistance
4-
“good minus”
moves through full available PROM against gravity and less than moderate resistance (Subjective)
3+
“fair plus”
moves through full available PROM against gravity and minimal resistance
3
“fair”
moves through full available PROM against gravity with no resistance
3-
“fair minus”
moves partially through available PROM against gravity
2
“poor”
moves through full available PROM on a gravity-eliminated plane with no resistance
2-
“poor minus”
moves partially through available PROM on a gravity eliminated plane
1
“trace”
tension palpated in muscle or tendon but no motion occurs at joint
0
“absent”
no tension palpated
