ROM and MMT Upper Limb (Quiz 2) Flashcards
What is the importance of Motion and Strength Assessment?
treatments at their core function by manipulating body mechanics to achieve a desired outcome
gain accurate data on available motion and strength to be able to develop and implement plan of care
How is MMT measured
utilizing observation with both gravity and manual resistance
Active Range of Motion
amount of motion attained by a subject during unassisted voluntary joint motion
provides information on willingness to move, coordination, and general muscle strength
Passive Range of Motion
amount of motion attained by the examiner wihtout assistance from the patient
provides information about the surfaces and surrounding soft tissues
Normal ROM
range of “normal” osteokinematic measures seen across the general population
Functional ROM
range of motion required to perform a specific task
TRUE OR FALSE
MMT is a test of strength
FALSE
it is a measurement of weakness
Manual Muscle Testing
the observation and application of resistance to determine the magnitude of force that can be generated across a joint
What is the MMT grading scale
0 (Zero) - no contraction
1 (Trace) - contraction observed, no segmental movement
2 (Poor) - Partial arc with gravity OR full arc no gravity
3 (Fair) - move body part into test position
4 (Good) - Hold in test position against gravity moderate pressure
5 (Normal) - hold in test position against gravity max pressure
