MMT
- Manual resistance is applied to a limb or another part of body when it has actively completed its ROM against gravity
- Manual resistance should always be applied opposite to participation muscle or muscle
- The patient is asked hold the body segment at or near the end or available range.
- Or at the point in the range the muscle is most strongly challenged
At this point the patient is instructed to not allow the therapist to break the hold while therapist applies manual resistance
At the end available range/ point the muscle most challenged, patient asked to hold the position/part & not allow the examiner to “break” the hold with manual resistance
- Manual resistance against an actively contracting muscle/ muscle group
.
- During the motion, the examiner gradually increases the amount of manual resistance until it reaches the maximum level
-
- This is an alternative to break test, application of manual resistance against an actively contracting ms or group of ms. (that is opposite the direction of movement)
- Test matches the patient resistance but does not overcome it.
- During the max contraction, the therapist gradually (over approx. 3 sec) increase the amnt of manual resistance until it matches the patient maximal level.
5
- is assigned when a patient can complete full ROM against gravity & holds the test position against maximal resistance
• If the therapist can break a patient’s hold, a grade 5 should not be assigned
4
- assigned when the patient can complete the full ROM against gravity but is not able to hold the test position against maximal resistance
- when maximal resistance results in a break or give irrespective of age or disability, the ms is assigned a grade 4
3
- the ms or ms group test can complete a full ROM against the resistance of gravity also called as active range
- Even if tested ms can move through a full range against gravity and tolerate a small or mild amnt of resistance, the ms is assigned a grade 3.
2
• Even if tested ms can move through a full range against gravity and tolerate a small or mild amnt of resistance, the ms is assigned a grade 3.
1
• Assigned when the therapist can detect visually or by palpation some contractile activity in one or more of the ms that participate in the action being tested
