Muscle Strength Grading - StatPearls - NCBI Bookshelf This article explores these challenges and outlines best practices for improving muscle strength grading accuracy to enhance clinical decision-making and patient outcomes
Muscle Strength Grading and What Scale 0-5 Means Muscle strength grading is used to categorize muscle strength on a scale of 0 to 5 in relation to the expected strength for a muscle One of the more common methods is a hands-on test called the Medical Research Council Manual Muscle Testing Scale, or MRC scale
MANUAL MUSCLE TESTING (MMT) Grading will be based on the isometric “Break” test It is essential that a grade of 3 be established before proceeding to application of resistance for grades above 3 or to alternate gravity minimized tests for grades below 3 Explain or demonstrate the movement that is required of the patient
Muscle Strength Grading - Time of Care Muscle strength is scored on a scale of 0 to 5 0 – No contraction; the patient is unable to even contract the muscle This is scored as a zero 1 – No movement but slight visible palpable muscle contraction is present; contraction without movement is scored as grade 1 strength
Assessing Muscle Strength - Physiopedia Muscle strength testing can help determine if there is a loss in muscle strength Careful and consistent technique is important to ensure valid and reproducible results

This table provides a preferred order to the testing of muscle groups for manual muscle testing Generally, for bilateral muscle testing, each muscle group is first tested on the right and then the left, prior to proceeding to the next muscle group in the list
