MMT Grading

Question 1

Normal (N) Grade 5

Answer 1

Patient takes maximal resistance through full range of motion against gravity; can’t break at end of range

Question 2

Good Plus (G+) Grade 4+

Answer 2

Patient takes nearly maximal resistance through full range of motion against gravity; can be broken at end of range

Question 3

Good (G) Grade 4

Answer 3

Patient takes moderately high resistance through full range of motion against gravity; can be broken at end of range

Question 4

Good Minus (G-) Grade 4-

Answer 4

Patient takes low moderate resistance through full range of motion against gravity; can be broken at end of range

Question 5

Fair Plus (F+) Grade 3+

Answer 5

Patient can complete full range of motion against gravity; can hold end position against mild resistance

Question 6

Fair (F) Grade 3

Answer 6

Patient can actively complete full range of motion against gravity; but can NOT take any resistance through or at the end of range

Question 7

Fair Minus (F-) Grade 3-

Answer 7

Patient can actively complete at least half the range of motion against gravity; can NOT take any resistance through or at the end of range. Put them in gravity minimized

Question 8

Poor Plus (P+) Grade 2+

Answer 8

Patient can complete range of motion and take some resistance in gravity minimized position; can take slight or minimal resistance

Question 9

Poor (P) Grade 2

Answer 9

Patient can complete full range of motion in gravity minimized position; cannot take any resistance

Question 10

Poor Minus (P-) Grade 2-

Answer 10

Patient can actively complete at least half the range of motion in gravity minimized position; cannot complete range

Question 11

Trace Plus (T+) Grade 1+

Answer 11

Patient can produce minimal motion

Question 12

Trace (T) Grade 1

Answer 12

Patient can produce no motion, but a contraction is detected visually or by palpation

Question 13

Zero (0) Grade 0

Answer 13

Patient is unable to produce any contraction
