Describe the grading scale for muscle strength:
0 - Zero - No evidence of muscle function
1 - Trace - Muscle contraction but no or very limited joint movement
2 - Poor - Complete range of motion with gravity eliminated
3 - Fair - Complete range of motion against gravity
4 - Good - Complete range of motion against gravity with some resistance
5 - Normal - Complete range of motion with full or normal resistance
