Manual Muscle Testing—Force Profiles and Their Reproducibility [PDF]
Diagnostics, 2020 The manual muscle test (MMT) is a flexible diagnostic tool, which is used in many disciplines, applied in several ways. The main problem is the subjectivity of the test. The MMT in the version of a “break test” depends on the tester’s force rise and the patient’s ability to resist the applied force.
