Thank you so much. I have watched all of your playlist videos. I even have learnt techniques and special tests that were not taught during physio school. In my opinion, your videos and physiopedia are some of the best physiotherapy content on the internet. Keep doing what you're doing. From Australia.

movement up to a partial range of motion in a elimnated gravity is any case grade 2? and and likewise, a partial range of motion against gravity and no resistance is grade 3?

@Physiotutors

Hi Luisa, if your patient is able to move through the whole ROM without gravity, it is MRC grade 2. If he is able to move through full ROM against gravity (and no futher resistance) you assign him an MRC grade 3.

There is a guide to do this with every single muscle?

Is this different from the Kendall version where if you can’t move the patients leg from the extended position it’s a 5. If you can break the extension hold it’s a 4?

@Physiotutors

In general we know from research that distinguishing between a 4 or a 5 is not reliable. What you mention would also very much depend on the patient's general strength and your strength as the examiner - don't see any inter-rater reliability here.

@Physiotutors

5 жыл бұрын

In the videos we are showing "make" tests, so just an isometric contraction against resistance. In a break test you would push through the isometric resistance of the patient. Just two different ways of testing strength.

Well not literally 😉 but supporting the leg and then performing knee extension in the transversal plane "eliminates" gravity as much as possible

what about advanced grade such as 2+ or 2- and 3+ etc....?

Totally unreliable, especially when trying to differentiate between 4 and 5. In those cases a hand-held dynamometer can help.
