Study Notes
Manual Muscle Test Grading Scale
-
Normal (5/5 MMT): Full range of motion (ROM) against gravity with maximal resistance; no break under resistance.
-
Good (4/5 MMT): Full ROM against gravity with moderate resistance; breaks with maximal resistance.
-
Fair+ (3+/5 MMT): Full ROM against gravity with minimal resistance; breaks with moderate resistance.
-
Fair (3/5 MMT): Full ROM against gravity but cannot maintain against any resistance.
-
Fair- (3-/5 MMT): More than half of the available ROM against gravity but can achieve full ROM in a gravity-eliminated position.
-
Poor+ (2+/5 MMT): Less than half of the available ROM against gravity; full ROM is possible in a gravity-eliminated position.
-
Poor (2/5 MMT): Full ROM is possible in a gravity-eliminated position; cannot move against gravity.
-
Poor- (2-/5 MMT): More than half of the available ROM in a gravity-eliminated position; cannot move against gravity.
-
Trace+ (1+/5 MMT): Less than half of the available ROM in a gravity-eliminated position; cannot move against gravity.
-
Trace (1/5 MMT): No ROM in either position; muscle or tendon activity can be palpated.
-
Zero (0/5 MMT): No ROM in gravity-eliminated position and no muscle or tendon activity palpable.
