What are the 2 other methods of evaluating muscle function that are more objective & reliable than MMT? |
Isokinetic testing. Dynamometry. |
ID |
|
Isokinetic testing : is a muscle strength testing performed with |
A specialized apparatus, providing variable resistance to a movement. No matter how much effort is exerted, the movement takes place at a constant speed. |
Pear. VR Time and ... EC |
|
Such a testing as Isokinetic testing is used to |
Assess & improve muscular strength & endurance, especially after an injury. |
AME |
|
The premise behind MMT is to place the |
Desired muscle in a position that will induce resistance against it. |
DPR If you are not for me, you are ... |
|
Dynamometry is the process of |
Measuring forces at work using a handheld instrument (dynamometer) that measures the force of muscular contraction. |
A ruler is used to ... Air ... ones . It is in the name. |
|
Impairment of the HMS alters muscle balance, muscle recruitment, & joint motion. This impairment affects the ability of the |
MS, NS, & SS to function interdependently and effectively perform their functional tasks, which may ultimately result in injury. |
Systems IEF |
|
Weakness of the hip adductors (gluteus medias) is associated with |
Patella femoral pain. IT-Band syndrome. Overall lower extremity injury. |
PIO |
|
Weakness of the gluteus medias, which is the primary frontal plane stabilizer of the femur. Is is associated with |
Overactivity (synergistic dominance) of the TFL. |
|
|
When overactive, the TFL can cause increased |
Tension throughout the IT-Band & lateral knee (IT-Band syndrome). |
His shoulders were so ... IL |
|
The TFL can cause external rotation of |
The tibia, placing increased stress on the tibiofemoral & patellofemoral joints. |

The MMT is an assessment process used to test the |
Recruitment capacity & contraction quality of individual muscles or movements. |
