MMT Flashcards
cervical rotation with lateral flexion
muscle: SCM
inn: CN 11 (C2-C3)
position- supine
4. movement- turn head all the way to CL side from testing and lift head
5. resistance- light, against temple
6. GE- none
7. sub- trunk or cervical flexion, trunk rotation
head/ cervical/ AO flexion (4 muscles)
- RCA, RCL, longus capitus, longus cervicis
- inn: (C1-C8)
- position- supine
- movement- touch chin to chest then lift head off table
- resistance- forehead
- GE- none
- sub- trunk flexion, suprahyoids
head/ cervical/ AO extension (6 muscles)
muscles: RCP major/ minor; splenius capitus/ coli; erector spinae; transverse spinae
inn: (C1-C8)
2. position- prone, head hanging over table
3. movement- raise head to at least neutral (can rotate left of right to tease out sides)**if very weak they can rest head on table and look if they can lift it
4. resist- light resistance on upper occiput
5. palpate- traps
6. sub- trunk extension
7. GE- none
trunk flexion (1 muscle) **know grading system
- rectus abdominus (T7-T12)
- position- supine, hands behind head =5 , while PT stabilizes thighs
- movement- lift trunk and try to lift past inferior angle of scapula
- resistance- none, PT stabilizes thighs (grading hands cross chest =4, hands by sides =3)
- palpate- abs
- substitution- cervical flexion, hip flexion
- GE- none
trunk extension (2 muscles)
- erector spinae and transversospinales (T1-L5)
- position- prone with hands behind head (women should have breasts off table) while PT stabilizes legs
- movement- extend spine to raise chest off table past nipple line
- resist- some overpressure on upper back
- palpate- none
- substitution- cervical extension
- GE- none
Kendalls test (3- muscle, movement and grading)
- rectus abdominus (C7-T12)
- supine, assist legs to 90 degrees of hip flexion and bring legs down until pelvis tilt cannot be maintained any longer and measure angle
- grading:
3 = 75 degrees
3+ = 60 degrees
4- = 45 degrees
4 = 30 degrees
4+ = 15 degrees
5 = <15 degrees
MMT grades summary (2)
5-3 - against gravity, full ROM
2-1 gravity eliminated
MMT - grade 5
5= full ROM, against gravity, max resistance
MMT grade 4 (3)
4+= full ROM, against gravity, mod-max resistance 4= full ROM, against gravity, mod resistance 4-= full ROM, against gravity, min resistance
MMT grade 3 (3)
3+ = full ROM, against gravity, slight resistance 3= full ROM, against gravity, no resistance 3- = >1/2 ROM, against gravity, no resistance
MMT grade 2 (3)
2+= > full ROM, gravity eliminated, slight resistance 2= > full ROM, gravity eliminated, no resistance 2-= >1/2 ROM, gravity eliminated, no resistance
MMT grade 1 (2)
1+ = < 1/2 ROM, palpable contraction (= trace contraction) 1= no appreciable ROM but palpable contraction
MMT grade 0
no movement or palpable contraction
hip flexion
- iliopsosas (femoral nerve)
- sit (to minimize thigh muscles)
- movement- hip hike
- resist- against femur
- palpate- none
- sub- flex/ aBduct, or hip extension for whole exercise to recruit rec fem
- GE- side ly or PT cradles patients leg
hip flexion, aBduction and external rotation
- Sartorious (femoral nerve)
- sit
- movement - do sartorious movement
- resist- push thigh down and in, calf up and out
- palpate- off ASIS
- sub- ?
- GE- slide active leg up and down opposite shin
