Manual Muscle Test

This chapter includes Manual Muscle Tests performed in the sitting position, offering a detailed assessment of muscles involved in shoulder function, neck stability and upper-body control. Each test demonstrates proper client alignment, stabilization points, resistance direction and key clinical cues to achieve accurate and repeatable results. The videos help you recognize common compensations, asymmetries and strength deficits that may impact everyday movement or rehabilitation progress. As part of the broader MMT curriculum, this sitting-position chapter supports a systematic and practical approach to evaluating muscle performance in a functional, upright posture.
