This table provides a preferred order to the testing of muscle groups for manual muscle testing. Generally, for bilateral muscle testing, each muscle group is first tested on the right and then the left, prior to proceeding to the next muscle group in the list.

MANUAL MUSCLE TESTING (MMT) Manual Muscle Testing 16 muscle groups/ motions will be tested (not individual muscles). 14 of these are tested bilaterally. Grading will be based on the isometric “Break” test.

This table provides a preferred order to the testing of muscle groups for manual muscle testing. Generally, for bilateral muscle testing, each muscle group is first tested on the right and then the left, prior to proceeding to the next muscle group in the list.

Assess the strength and compare it with the expected norm for that muscle group. Assign a grade based on the patient's ability to complete the movement against gravity, with or without resistance.

Assessment: Upper Extremity Manual Muscle Testing (MMT) Preparation: Client should be comfortable, and positioned on a stable surface. Clothing should be arranged appropriately (removed if necessary) so the therapist can see the muscles being tested.

6 天之前 · This MMT grading chart is widely used in occupational therapy to evaluate and monitor muscle strength. It also serves as a guide to select suitable therapeutic activities.

This document provides a grading scale for assessing muscle strength and range of motion in the upper extremities. It lists specific muscles and the actions they perform, along with tests to evaluate strength from normal to zero on a 5-point scale.

Here's a basic checklist you can use for more accurate manual muscle testing results: Make sure to communicate with the patient all the components of the test and the results you are looking to obtain from the test. Work with the non-dominant (or non-injured) side first and keep consistent when applying pressure.
