PTH 220 MMT
Muscle Testing
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Gross Muscle testing is a screening tool that is used to test a specific muscle. T/F | False, it is used to test groups of prime movers and their synergists producing motion |
| A practitioner should use Gross Muscle testing if an exact MMT grade is required. T/F | False |
| Gross Muscle testing results are not recognized as reliable evidence in a court of law. T/F | True, GMT is not an exact science and has poor validity and reliability |
| GMT is a quick screening tool for muscle strength and assessing symmetry. T/F | True |
| To accurately determine the strength of muscles as they move a joint through ROM the ______ ______ test is used. | Manual Muscle |
| Alternative positioning during MMT would be used if the patient cannot assume the standard gravity position. T/F | True, especially if the gravity position causes pain or there is disability |
| Examples of gravity positioning during MMT are: (a) elbow flexed, sitting (b) shoulder hyperextension,prone (c) elbow extended, prone (d) shoulder hyperextended, sitting (e) a and b (f) a, b, c | e |
| Give the position for Hip Abduction during Gravity eliminated testing:______ | supine |
| Gravity eliminated position testing involves moving the joint parallel to the _______. | Floor, the horizontal plane |
| MMT can help to determine a diagnosis as with SCI. T/F | True |
| MMT is not helpful for measuring a patient's progress or lack of progress to the treatment plan. T/F | False |
| MMT provides the basis of the strengthening treatment plan. T/F | True |
| As a PTA MMT data on a PT evaluation would aide in your understanding of the patient's status. T/F | True |
| If you noticed a change in strength during a treatment it would be appropriate to stop treatment and alert the PT.T/f | True |
| The Arnold Schwarznegger vs. Kate Moss phenomenon refers to the differences in generated resistance in PT's. T/F | True |
| Neurological status has no effect on MMT. T/F | False,results obtained from hypertonicity caused during testing on patients with CNS injuries would be invalid. |
| Patients with LMNL can be more accurately tested with MMT, as the results are valid. T/F | True |
| Reliability of MMT should be within _____ grade inter rater and ______ grade intra rater. | 1/2, same |
| Proper positioning is important to prevent substitutions and improves the reliability and validity of the results. T/F | True |
| ________and _______ of muscle activity is critical prior to grading to determine if the muscle being tested is working and if asymmetry is present: (a) palpation, observation (b) palpation, ROM (c)observation, ROM | a |
| The patient does not have to be instructed not to cheat during MMT, they will use Maximal effort during resistance naturally. T/F | False, patients should be instructed not to cheat or substitute and use maximal effort to resist. |
| The patient should understand normal muscle movement before testing. T/F | True |
| One way to test whether a patient understands normal muscle movement is by having them move the affected side first. T/F | False, the unaffected side should be moved first to assess understanding |
| The gravity eliminated position is the correct initial position for MMT. T/F | False, the gravity position is used first |
| The "Break Test" method refers to the application of resistance at the beginning of the ROM. T/F | False, resistance is applied at the end of the ROM |
