30 Questions I 624 Attempts I Created By Mrs Timbo 2293 days agoThis is an study aid design to assist in studying manual muscle testing. This is what I have so far.
Good luck!

| A. |
| B. |
| C. |

| Q.3) | The example that accurately describes this statement: "Several muscles may be tested as a group of muscles that produce specific movements" |
| Q.4) | Individual muscles not may be isolated and tested separately |
| A. |
| B. |
| Q.5) | "Due to damage of the motor cortex, James has lost tone in the muscles of in his U.E. In order to assess how much contractability he has, the O.T must first perform a MMT. |
| A. |
| B. |
| Q.6) | Functional strength can only be performed in a clinical setting. The controlled environment enables the OT to properly assess the patient without distractions and ensure proper functioning when patient performs various ADL's. |
| A. |
| B. |
| Q.7) | The biggest advantage for MMT is that no equipment is required |
| A. |
| B. |
| Q.8) | Precautions must be taken when testing MMT with patients with _____, ______ and______. |
| A. |
| B. |
| C. |
| Q.9) | Possible muscle fiber tears may occur with excess application of resistance |
| A. |
| B. |
| Q.10) | Each grade is determined by 3 variables:________,__________and_________ |
| A. |
| B. |
| C. |
| Q.11) | These sentences are most likely to be associated with what variable when muscle grading. - determined by palpation of the muscle - client unable to contract muscle and no muscle tension is felt with palpation, muscle grade is 0 - palpation best performed using the middle finger -palpation will ensure no substitution of other muscles muscle that demonstrates contrations would be graded as Trace or 1/5 |
| A. |
| B. |
| C. |
| Q.12) | These sentences are most likely to be associated with what variable when muscle grading. -Affects muscle contraction -Volitional contraction in gravity eliminated place would receive a Poor or 2/5 muscle grade -Volitional movement against gravity would receive a Fair or 3/5 muscle grade |
| A. |
| B. |
| C. |
| Q.13) | These sentences are most likely to be associated with what variable when muscle grading. -Differentiates the good muscle (4/5) from the normal muscle (5/5) -Application of manual resistance is a subjective variable -MMT has poor reliability and validity above the fair or 3/5 grade - One-joint muscles – external force is best applied at end of range - Two-joint muscles - maximum resistance best applied at or near midrange |
| A. |
| B. |
| C. |
| Q.14) | How is contractability determined? |
| A. |
| B. |
| C. |
| Q.15) | Why palpate? |
| A. |
| B. |
| C. |
| Q.16) | palpation best performed |
| A. |
| B. |
| C. |
| D. |
| Q.17) | muscle that demonstrates contractility would be graded as |
| A. |
| B. |
| C. |
| D. |
| Q.18) | client unable to contract muscle and no muscle tension is felt with palpation, muscle grade is 0 |
| A. |
| B. |
| Q.19) | which one of these statements concerning Volitional contrations and gravity is/are true? (read these carefully) |
| A. |
| B. |
| C. |
| D. |
| E. |

| A. |
| B. |
| Q.22) | When testing resistance on one-joint muscles external force is best applied |
| A. |
| B. |
| C. |
| D. |
| Q.23) | when testing resistance on two-joint muscles maximum resistance best applied |
| A. |
| B. |
| C. |
| D. |
| Q.24) | True or false: "Group muscle testing has increased functionality and assessment occurs throughout the entire ROM" |
| A. |
| B. |
| Q.25) | testing at the end range of motion with muscle providing isometric contraction is called a |
| A. |
| B. |
| C. |
| D. |
| Q.26) | testing throughout range in direction opposite of muscle’s rotary component; muscle performs a concentric type of contraction is called a |
| A. |
| B. |
| C. |
| D. |
| Q.27) | MMT demonstrates _____ validity and reliability due to _____ nature of grading. (pick two) |
