Which muscle is being tested when performing a MMT for hip flexion?

A PTA is testing the strength of the muscle used for ankle dorsiflexion and subtalar inversion. What muscle will be palpated when the patient actively performs the motion?

What position does the PTA place the patient in to test the Sartorius muscle in the gravity-eliminated position?

A grade of 2- was assigned to the gluteus medius muscle during MMT. What motion was the pt able to perform to assign a grade of 2-?

Match the following muscle involved in examining the integrity of the spinal nerves/segments – An answer may be used more than once.

A pt was unable to actively move the right arm during forearm supination in the gravity resisted position. The pt is able to complete full range of motion in the gravity-eliminated position. What is the correct muscle grade recorded in the SOAP note?

A PTA performs a MMT on a pt’s ankle plantar flexors in the weight bearing position. The pt was able to demonstrate raising the heel from the floor through full ROM 2-3 times. What grade would be assigned to the ankle plantar flexors?

What position is the pt placed to perform a Grip Strength Test?

If a patient is able to move the distal joint segment through the complete range of motion against gravity, they are placed in the ________________________ position to test the muscle.
