Manual Muscle Test

Manual Muscle Testing (MMT) is one of the essential clinical tools for physiotherapists, movement specialists, and trainers. This course provides a comprehensive understanding of muscle function and teaches participants how to perform accurate, repeatable, and clinically relevant muscle tests across the entire body.

Through guided practice, you will learn standardized procedures for positioning the client, applying resistance, grading muscle strength on the 0–5 scale (Daniels & Worthingham), and recognizing compensatory patterns or dysfunctions that may indicate neurological weakness or structural imbalance.

The program covers all major regions — cervical, thoracic, lumbar, pelvic, upper and lower extremities — ensuring a complete and practical understanding of MMT in real clinical scenarios.

This course is ideal for physiotherapists, massage therapists, medical students, personal trainers, and anyone aiming to enhance their diagnostic skills and deliver more targeted therapy or training interventions. The teaching focuses on practical application, hands-on evaluation, and integrating MMT with modern therapeutic approaches.
