Phys dys Flashcards
Measurement instrument for evaluating joint range of motion; accuracy is ensured through following standardized procedures including:
• client position
• positioning of the instrument

Structured approach to measure muscle strength and apply a muscle grade to the maximal effort put forth
Grading scale range: Zero (0/5) to Normal (5/5)
Manual muscle testing
Muscle grade assigned for:
• no active movement noted
• no muscle contraction observed or palpated
Muscle grade 0/5
Muscle grade assigned for:
• trace movement observed and palpated
• no active movement noted, but muscle contraction is observed or palpated
Muscle grade 1/5
Muscle grade assigned for:
• poor strength observed where movement is noted only in a gravity-minimized plane
Score may range from:
• ___ (-): able to initiate movement in gravity-minimized plane
• ___: incomplete ROM in gravity-minimized plane
• ___ (+): complete ROM in gravity-minimized plane
Muscle grade 2/5
Muscle grade assigned for:
• fair strength observed where movement is noted against gravity
Score may range from:
• ___(-): incomplete ROM against gravity
• ___: full ROM against gravity with no resistance applied
• ___(+): full ROM against gravity and slight resistance
Muscle grade 3/5
Muscle grade assigned for:
• good strength observed with full ROM against gravity and moderate resistance
Muscle Grade 4/5
Muscle grade assigned for:
• normal strength observed with full ROM against gravity and maximal resistance
Muscle grade 5/5
Level of assistance where a client needs >75% verbal or physical assistance to complete a task or is unable to perform any component of the task
