Internal Consistency of Manual Muscle Testing Scores
Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1997The internal consistencies of manual muscle test scores of the actions of three upper and three lower extremity muscles were examined among 37 home care patients. The correlations between scores of specific pairs of actions ranged from .01 to .88. Cronbach alphas ranged from .59 to .88.

Serial Manual Muscle Testing in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy
Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, 1993Serial measurements of muscle strength of 34 muscle groups were obtained for up to a seven-year period using manual muscle testing (MMT) in a group of 63 boys (mean age = 11.5 years) with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) not using lower extremity bracing or corrective surgery for ambulation, in order to define the natural course of strength loss and ...

Interexaminer Agreement for Applied Kinesiology Manual Muscle Testing
Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1997Two trials of the interexaminer reliability of Applied Kinesiology manual testing were conducted. On the first trial three clinicians, each with greater than ten years of experience with muscle testing procedures, tested 32 healthy individuals to estimate their agreement on the strength or weakness of right and left piriformis and right and left ...

Muscle Testing: Techniques of manual examinations
Physiotherapy, 1997The new authors have substantially updated this book with the inclusion of sections on testing children and some neuropathological conditions. The book begins with an introduction and description of the grading system. Although this description is full and detailed there is however no mention of the Oxford grading system, which is the most widespread ...

Journal of Hand Therapy, 1995
The reliability of manual muscle strength testing of the intrinsic muscles of the hand is reported. The muscle strengths of 28 patients who had neuropathies of the ulnar nerve or the ulnar and median nerves were graded by two physiotherapists to determine intraobserver and interobserver reliabilities.

Reliability of manual muscle testing: A systematic review
Isokinetics and Exercise Science, 2018BACKGROUND: The legitimacy of manual muscle testing (MMT) is dependent in part on the reliability of assessments obtained using the procedure. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this review, therefore, was to consolidate findings regarding the test-retest and inter-rater reliability of MMT from studies meeting inclusion and exclusion criteria.

Reliability of manual muscle testing with a computerized dynamometer.
Journal of manipulative and physiological therapeutics, 1990The purpose of this study was to investigate the reliability of manual dynamometry. Three testers participated and performed the doctor- and patient-initiated testing methods as described in the applied kinesiology literature. Three muscles from each subject were tested.
