Manual Muscle Testing MMT Flashcards
00 (Zero)
No muscle contraction
1 (Trace)
Trace muscle contraction w/ no visible joint motion
2- (Poor-)
MOVEMENT IN HORIZONTAL PLANE (GRAVITY-REDUCED POSITION)
Joint moves through partial ROM
2 (Poor)
MOVEMENT IN HORIZONTAL PLANE (GRAVITY-REDUCED POSITION)
Joint moves through completeROM
2+ (Poor+)
MOVEMENT IN HORIZONTAL PLANE (GRAVITY-REDUCED POSITION)
Joint moves through full ROM & holds against slight resistance
3- (Fair-)
MOVEMENT AGAINST GRAVITY
Joint moves through partial ROM (between 50% & 100%) w/ gradual release from test position
3 (Fair)
MOVEMENT AGAINST GRAVITY
Holds test position (no added resistance)
3+ (Fair+)
MOVEMENT AGAINST GRAVITY
Holds test position against slight resistance
4- (Good-)
MOVEMENT AGAINST GRAVITY
Holds test position against slight to moderate resistance
4 (Good)
MOVEMENT AGAINST GRAVITY
Holds test position against moderate resistance
4+ (Good+)
MOVEMENT AGAINST GRAVITY
Holds test position against moderate to strong resistance
5 (Normal)
MOVEMENT AGAINST GRAVITY
Holds test position against strong resistance
