Manual Muscle Test

This chapter provides a comprehensive set of Manual Muscle Tests performed in the supine position, forming an essential part of the overall MMT curriculum. It guides you through step-by-step assessments of key muscles across the trunk, upper and lower extremities, always with a focus on precision, reproducibility and clinical relevance.

Each test includes detailed instructions on client positioning, stabilization, therapist hand placement and the correct direction of applied resistance. Throughout the chapter, the demonstrations emphasize how to recognize compensatory strategies, subtle strength deficits and functional imbalances that may influence posture, movement quality or rehabilitation outcomes.

By following these structured videos, you gain a consistent framework for applying MMT principles in practice — improving your confidence in clinical decision-making and your ability to target therapy or training based on accurate muscle function assessment.
