zero
0
5 (normal)
holds test position against maximal resistance
4 (good)
holds test position against moderate resistance
3 (fair)
holds test position against gravity
2 (poor)
able to move through full ROM gravity eliminated
1 (trace)
no visible movement; palpable or observable tendon prominence/flicker contraction
0 (zero)
no palpable or observable muscle contraction
muscle is completely inert on palpitation or visual inspection
0 (zero)
detection of contractile activity but no resulting movement
1 (trace)
full ROM only in a horizontal plane
2 (poor)
full ROM against the effect of gravity
3 (fair)
full ROM against gravity and test position is held under minimum resistance
4 (good)
full ROM against gravity and test position is held under maximum resistance
5 (normal)
