What is MMT
|
Manual Muscle Testing: It is a way to measure maximal contraction of MS or MS group
|
|
|
Methods of Evaluating MS strength
|
1-test individual MS as much as possible
2-Assess strength of MS groups 3-Observe while ADLs/activities are performed |
|
|
What are the 6 Purposes of MMT
|
1-MS power avail and to establish a baseline
2-To determine how MS weakness is affecting ADL performance 3-Prevent deformities from imbalanced strength 4-Determine need for AD to compensate for reduced strength 5-Will aid in the selection of activities w/in pt's capabilities 6-Evaluate the effectiveness of TX (eval strength to see if the TX is approp for that strength level. |
|
|
What is the relationship between MMT and ROM
|
It is the measurement of the MS strength to move the joint thru ROM. Did the MS move the joint thru complete, partial or no ROM?
|
|
|
What are the 4 MMT Limitations
|
1-Endurance
2-Coordination 3-Motor performance (can't tell if one particular MS is doing the job) 4-Upper Motor Neuron Deficit (CNS problems inhibit a true MS strength measurement) |
|
|
What factors influence MS function
|
1- gravity. Grades 0,1,2,3 test in horizontal (transverse)plane; 4,5 grade test in vertical (saggital)plane
2- substitution: eliminate it by correct positioning, stabilization, & palpation |
|
|
What are the 6 Standard procedures for performing MMT
|
1-Positioning
2-Stabilizing 3-palpation 4-observing 5-resisting 6-grade the result |
|
|
what are the MS grades
|
0 = Zero
1 = Trace 2- = Poor- 2 = Poor 2+ = Poor+ 3- = Fair - 3 = Fair 3+ = Fair+ 4 = Good 5 = Normal |
|
|
Define 0, and 1 MS grades
|
0 (zero/none): is NO MS CONTRACTION
1 (trace): CONTRACTION CAN BE FELT (very little)BUT NO JOINT MOTION |
|
|
Define 2-, 2, & 2+ MS GRADES
|
2- (Poor-): Move thru INCOMPLETE ROM, Gravity Decreased
2 (Poor): Move thru COMPLETE ROM, Gravity Decreased 2+ (Poor+):Move thru INCOMPLETE (< 50%) ROM against GRAVITY, OR, move thru COMPLETE ROM w/DECREASED GRAVITY, but against SLIGHT RESISTANCE. |
|
|
Define 3-, 3, 3+ MS GRADES
|
3- (FAIR -): Move thru INCOMPLETE ( > 50%) ROM against GRAVITY
3 (Fair): Move thru COMPLETE ROM against GRAVITY 3+ (Fair+): Move thru COMPLETE ROM against Gravity and SLIGHT RESISTANCE |
|
|
Define 4 & 5 MS GRADES
|
4 (Good): Move thru COMPLETE ROM with Moderate Resistance
5 (Normal): Move thru COMPLETE ROM with Full Resistance |
|
