Resistance
Its a force that acts in opposition to a contracting muscle.
Maximal Resistance
Its the maximum resistance, which a patient can overcome to performing full range of
motion.
Minimal Resistance
Its the minimum resistance, which a patient can overcome to performing full range of
motion.
Manual Muscle Testing
It is the procedure of manually testing the strength of a muscle using manual muscle testing
scale.
Break Test
It is the procedure most commonly used in manual muscle testing today. Manual resistance is
applied to a limb or other body part after it has completed its range of movement. Manual
resistance should always be applied in the direction of the "line of pull" of the participating
muscle or muscles. At the end of the available range, or at a point in the range where the
muscle is most challenged, the patient is asked to hold the part at that point and not allow the
examiner to "break" the hold with manual resistance.
Active Resistance Test
An alternative to the break test is the application of manual resistance against an actively
contracting muscle or muscle group (i.e., against the direction of the movement as if to
prevent that movement). This may be called an "active resistance" test. During the motion,
the examiner gradually increases the amount of manual resistance until it reaches the
maximal level the subject can tolerate and motion ceases. This kind of manual muscle test
requires considerable skill and experience to perform and is so often equivocal that its use is
not recommended.

Range of Motion: Joint range of motion is the motion available at any single joint and is
influenced by the associated bony structure and the physiologic characteristics of the
connective tissue surrounding the joint. Important connective tissue that limits joint range of
motion includes ligaments and joint capsule.
Universal Goniometer
It is devise used for measuring the joint range of motion. The universal goniometer is made
of either metal or clear plastic and consists of a central protractor portion on which are
mounted two arms of varying lengths. The protractor portion of the goniometer may be either
a full circle or a half circle, both of which are calibrated in degrees. One of the two arms of
the goniometer is an extension of the protractor (the stationary arm), while the other arm is
riveted to, and can move independently of, the protractor (the moving/movable arm). The
central rivet, which attaches the moving arm to the protractor, functions as the axis, or
fulcrum, of the goniometer.

PROCEDURES FOR MEASURING JOINT RANGE OF MOTION


1. Determine the type of measurement to be performed (AROM or PROM).
2. Explain the purpose of the procedure to the patient.
3. Position the patient in the preferred patient position for the measurement.
4. Stabilize the proximal joint segment.
5. Instruct the patient in the specific motion that will be measured while moving the
patient's distant joint segment passively through the ROM. Determine the patient's
end-feel at the end of the PROM.
6. Return the patient's distal joint segment to the starting position.
7. Palpate bony landmarks for measurement device alignment.
8. Align the measurement device with the appropriate bony landmarks.
9. Read the scale of the measurement device and note the reading.

10. Have the patient move actively, or move the patient passively, through the available
ROM.
11. Re-palpate the bony landmarks and readjust the alignment of the measurement device
as necessary.
12. Read the scale of the measurement device and note the reading.
13. Record the patient's ROM. The record should include, at a minimum:
a. Patient's name and identifying information
b. Date measurement was taken
c. Identification of person taking measurement
d. Type of motion measured (AROM or PROM) and device used
e. Any alteration from preferred patient position
f. Readings taken from measurement device at beginning and end of ROM.

PRINCIPLES OF MANUAL MUSCLE TESTING


1. Knowledge of the location and anatomical features of the muscles in a test. In
addition to knowing the muscle attachments, the examiner should be able to visualize
the location of the tendon and its muscle in relationship to other tendons and muscles
and other structures in the same area
2. Knowledge of the direction of muscle fibers and their "line of pull" in each muscle.
3. Knowledge of the function of the participating muscles (e.g., synergists, prime
movers, accessories).
4. Consistent use of a standardized method for each different test.
5. Consistent use of proper positioning and stabilization techniques for each test
procedure.

6. Ability to identify patterns of substitution in a given test and how they can be detected
based on a knowledge of which other muscles can be substituted for the one(s) being
tested.
7. Ability to detect contractile activity during both contraction and relaxation, especially
in minimally active muscle.
8. Sensitivity to differences in contour and bulk of the muscles being tested in contrast to
the contra lateral side or to normal expectations based on such factors as body size,
occupation, or leisure activities.
9. Awareness of any deviation from normal values for range of motion and the presence
of any joint laxity or deformity.
10. Understanding that the muscle belly must not be grasped at any time during a manual
muscle test except specifically to assess tenderness or pain and muscle mass.
11. Ability to modify test procedures when necessary while not compromising the test
result and understanding the influence of the modification on the result.
12. Knowledge of the effect of fatigue on the test results, especially muscles tested late in
a long testing session, and sensitivity to fatigue in certain diagnostic conditions such
as myasthenia gravis or Eaton-Lambert syndrome.
13. The patient with open wounds or other conditions requiring gloves, which may blunt
palpation skills.

PROCEDURE FOR MUSCLE TESTING


1. The examiner and the patient must work in harmony if the test session is to be
successful.
2. This means that some basic principles and inviolable procedures should be second
nature to the examiner.

3. The patient should be as free as possible from discomfort or pain for the duration of
each test. It may be necessary to allow some patients to move or be positioned
differently between tests.
4. The environment for testing should be quiet and none distracting. The temperature
should be comfortable for the partially disrobed subject.
5. The plinth or mat table for testing must be firm to help stabilize the part being tested.
The ideal is a hard surface, minimally padded or not padded at all. The hard surface
will not allow the trunk or limbs to "sink in." Friction of the surface material should
be kept to a minimum. When the patient is reasonably mobile a plinth is fine, but its
width should not be so narrow that the patient is terrified of falling or sliding off.
When the patient is severely paretic, a mat table is the more practical choice. The
height of the table should be adjustable to allow the examiner to use proper leverage
and body mechanics.
6. Patient position should be carefully organized so that position changes in a test
sequence are minimized. The patient's position must permit adequate stabilization of
the part or parts being tested by virtue of body weight or with help provided by the
examiner.
MATERIALS NEEDED FOR THE MANUAL MUSCLE TESTING
1. Muscle test documentation forms
2. Pen, pencil, or computer terminal
3. Pillows, towels, pads, and wedges for positioning
4. Sheets or other draping linen
5. Interpreter (if needed)
6. Assistance for turning, moving, or stabilizing the patient
