Study Notes
- Froment's Sign evaluates ulnar nerve function in the grip and hand area.
- Thompson Squeeze Test screens for Achilles tendon rupture in the ankle.
- Single Leg Balance Test assesses proprioception and stability for balance and mobility.
- Knee to Wall Test evaluates ankle dorsiflexion and mobility for balance.
Manual Muscle Testing (MMT) Grading Scale (Medical Research Council)
- 0: No contraction
- 1: Flicker or trace of contraction
- 2: Active movement with gravity eliminated
- 3: Active movement against gravity
- 4: Active movement against some resistance
- 5: Normal strength, full resistance
Additional Functional Tests
30-Second Sit-to-Stand Test (30sSTS)
- Evaluates lower limb strength and functional ability
- Procedure:
- Client sits in a 43 cm high armless chair.
- Arms folded across chest.
- Completes as many sit-to-stand cycles as possible in 30 seconds.
- If hands are used for support, the results cannot be compared to norms.
Five Times Sit-to-Stand Test (FTSTS)
- Measures lower limb strength and fall risk.
- Procedure:
- Client sits in a 43 cm highchair, arms crossed.
- Completes 5 sit-to-stand repetitions as quickly as possible.
- Measurement: Time elapsed from 'go' until seated after the 5th repetition.
