MRC Muscle Grading Scale: Complete Guide for Physiotherapy Students
MRC Grading
MRC Grading for Manual Muscle Testing (MMT) refers to the Medical Research Council (MRC) scale, a standardized system used by clinicians to grade muscle strength.
It ranges from Grade 0 to Grade 5, with each grade describing the level of muscle power a patient can generate.
MRC Muscle Strength Grading Scale
- MMT is typically performed bilaterally to compare sides.
- Gravity-eliminated position often means testing in a horizontal plane.
- Resistance is applied manually by the examiner to evaluate the patient’s strength.
