MMT Scale

A
  • 5: Full ROM AG - Maximal resistance
  • 4+: Full ROM AG - mod-max resistance
  • 4: Full ROM AG - moderate resistance
  • 4-: Full ROM AG - minimal resistance
  • 3+: Full ROM AG - slight resistance
  • 3: Full ROM AG - no resistance
  • 3-: >1/2 ROM AG - no resistance
  • 2+: Full ROM - Gravity eliminated - some resistance, <1/2 ROM AG no resistance
  • 2: Full ROM - Gravity eliminated - no resistance
  • 2-: >1/2 ROM - No gravity
  • 1+: <1/2 ROM - Gravity eliminated
  • 1: Palpable contraction, no movement - Gravity eliminated

Q

Scapular MMT: Adduction and Downward Rotation

A

Primary mover: Rhomboids
Nerve/Nerve location: Dorsal scapular / C5
Position: Prone, handcuff pose and pull hand away. Palpate medial border
GE Position: Sitting
Substitutions: GH joint, trunk rotation

push into upward rotation and abduction to test on humerus, if weaker pt do resistance on scapula
