Muscle Testing Grading System


0, 1, 2-, 2, 2+, 3-, 3, 3+, 4-, 4, 5

0 no tension palpated in mm. or tendon


1 trace, tension palpated but no motion in joint


2- moves less than full ROM in gravity elim plane


2 moves through full ROM in gravity eliminated


2+ takes min resistance in gravity elim plane


3- moves less than full ROM against gravity


3 moves thru full ROM against gravity, can't take resistance


3+ can take min resist against gravity


4- takes less than mod resist against gravity


4 takes mod resist against gravity


5 takes max resist against gravity

Test for Grip Strength- what tool used? what position? how to test? what to use for arthritis?

dynamometer- shoulder adducted to side, elbow flex to 90, forearm in neutral


mean of 3 trials of each hand is compared to the norms


one trial in all 5 positions for each hand.


use vigorometer/bulb dynamometer to evaluate the grip strength for person w/ arthritis

edema, pitting v. brawny? how to evaluate?

pitting edema- acute, brawny- chronic


can evaluate circumference by using tape measure, compare extremities. to measure the entire hand- figure 8 method is the most accurate


can evaluate hand and arm mass with volumeter, only true objective tool, a significant change in edema would be more than 10 mL

how to test sensation for spinal cord injuries? for peripheral nerve injuries? for neurological disorders?

SCI- test proximal to distal following dermatome pattern


peripheral n. injuries- test distal to proximal following the peripheral nerve


neurological disorders- assess dermatome pattern

Codman's exercise

common form of PROM used for post surgical shoulder patients. pendulum swings with body bent over and arm hanging down

increasing strength vs. endurance

strength : high resistance, low repetitions


endurance : work at 50% max resistance or less, increase repetitions and duration, not resistance

when is elevation for edema contraindicated?

if the individual has circulation problems

when are manual edema mobilization and retrograde massage contraindicated?

when cardiac edema is present

resting hand splint position: functional position

wrist 20-30 degrees extension


MCPs 30-45 degrees flexion


IPs 0-20 flexion (slight flexion)


thumb abducted/opposed

safe position splint: aka intrinsic plus or anti-deformity splint

wrist 20-30 extension


MCPs 70-90 flexion


IPs extended


thumb abducted and extended

brachial plexus injury- what kind of splint?

flail arm splint- provides stability at shoulder and elbow. arm slightly abducted, elbow bent to 90 degrees, abduction pillow to support forearm and keep in position

precautions and contraindications for heat

don't use with MS, postsurgical repairs, acute injuries, impaired sensation, impaired vascular suppy

precautions and contraindications for cryotherapy (cold temps)

sensory deficits including hypersensitivity, impaired circulation, Raynaud's phenomenon

benefits of E-stim

pain control, decreases swelling, stimulates and strengthens mm., mm. reeducation, stimulates denervated mm.

contraindications for electrical stimulation

cardiac pacemaker, phrenic or urinary bladder stimulators, thrombosis or thrombophlebitis, do not do e-stim over carotid sinus (on sides of neck)

ultrasound- continuous vs. pulsed and benefits

continuous has thermal effects- increases tissue extensibility (increase ROM, decrease joint stiffness), reduces pain, increases blood flow and permeability, reduces mm. spasms, reaches deeper tissues (up to 5 cm)


pulsed has nonthermal effects- decreases inflammation, heals tissue

contraindications of ultrasound

active malignant tumor, pregnancy, area near pacemaker, some joint replacements, thrombophlebitis


precautions for fractures, growth plates, breast implants

general contraindications for PAMs

do not use if a person has: cancer, pacemaker, pregnancy, cognitive impairment, sensory impairment, vascular impairment, deep vein thrombophlebitis
