Muscle Performance Testing Flashcards

1
Q

To do a MMT for trunk flexion, the therapist will not be applying any resistance to the patient. The patient will be supine and will be graded on whether or not they can do a sit up and clear their (superior/inferior) angle off of the table.

A

inferior

Q

When doing MMT for trunk flexion, “I generally recommend starting with 3/5 MMT test position and progressing to more difficult grades if able; regress to less challenging grades instead if appropriate”.

Q

MMT Trunk rotation is the same as MMT Trunk Flexion as far as the grades being determined by the position of the patient. In this test the patient is (supine/prone) and will be asked to do an oblique sit up. The therapist will stabilize over the (mid/proximal) thigh and will palpate on the (ipsilateral/contralateral) oblique. So if i am palpating on the patients right side, he will be rotating to the (right/left).

A

supine; mid; ipsilateral; left
