๐Ÿคท๐Ÿผโ€โ™‚๏ธIf your PT/ATC still uses manual muscle testing as a primary objective measure, theyโ€™ve failed you.

๐Ÿค“In PT school, weโ€™re taught manual muscle tests (MMT). Theyโ€™re designed to determine a muscles strength on a graded scale.

๐Ÿ˜ฉHowever, there is too much subjectivity and MMTs arenโ€™t sensitive enough to give objective data on strength differences. Think about a patients size and strength compared to therapists strength or lack of strength.

โ›น๏ธโ€โ™‚๏ธItโ€™s crazy there are still PTs using MMTs to clear patients such as ACLs for sports. We NEED objective data using equipment to properly clear patients. We use for our testing equipment.

๐ŸคฆA clinic not having the equipment is a poor excuse. Handheld dynos are not that expensive and if a clinic doesnโ€™t have one itโ€™s because they donโ€™t care to buy one.
