MMT Certified Practitioner

Manual Muscle Testing (MMT) is a fundamental technique used in physical therapy and rehabilitation to assess muscle strength and function. Our MMT Certified Practitioner in Chennai at Sport-Fit Physio Care applies resistance to a specific muscle or muscle group, evaluating the muscle's ability to contract against resistance. It is important assessment for patients with stroke, brain injury, spinal cord injury, neuropathy, older adults and others with sports injuries. The strength is graded on a scale from 0 to 5, with 0 indicating no contraction and 5 representing normal strength. Based on the readings, we develop exercise plans. Ensuring confidentiality, we perform treatment in spacious and closed environments. For muscular health recovery, we offer Muscle Strength Training at an affordable cost.

Assessing strength with precision and care

Muscle Strength Tightening

Muscle strength is defined as the ability of a muscle to tighten and produce maximum force in a single effort. With effective Muscle Strength Tightening procedures, we use advanced techniques, including Manual Muscle Testing (MMT), handheld dynamometry and isokinetic dynamometry, alongside functional strength tests. Our assessments accurately identify muscle weaknesses and imbalances, allowing our expert practitioner, Mrs. Famidha to develop Personalized Rehabilitation plans. We structure workout intensity by adding weight, increasing resistance or performing more repetitions. Our clinic provides safe environment for athletes, rehabilitation patients, older adults, postpartum women and others. Schedule a consultation to improve your body's functionality and range of motion.

Manual Muscle Testing (MMT) Grading Scale

At Sport-Fit Physio Care, our healthcare professionals use the MMT grading scale to asses muscle weakness and plan therapeutic procedures.

  • Grade 0: No muscle contraction observed.
  • Grade 1: Muscle flicker or trace contraction, but no movement.
  • Grade 2: Full range of motion with no gravity.
  • Grade 3: Full range of motion against gravity but no resistance.
  • Grade 4: Full range of motion against moderate resistance.
  • Grade 5: Full range of motion against maximal resistance.

This scale assigns a numerical grade from 0 to 5 for muscle contraction against resistance.

Benefits of Muscle Strength Assessment

Unlike traditional manual testing, there are many benefits of muscle strengthening assessment. We get detailed information that is useful in differential diagnosis, prognosis and management of neuromuscular and musculoskeletal disorders.

  • Increased muscle mass: Greater muscle size and strength.
  • Strengthens bones: Builds bone density and strength.
  • Reduces unwanted fat: Helps decrease excess body fat.
  • Prevents cardiovascular disease: Reduces risk of heart issues.

Muscle Strength Dynamometry
Precision measurement for optimal performance

Muscle Handgrip Dynamometry

Handgrip dynamometry evaluates the maximum isometric strength of the muscles in the hand and forearm. At Sport-Fit Physio Care, we assess this strength by making patient sit comfortably with their elbow at a 90 degrees angle to hardly squeeze dynamometer handle. The maximum force exerted is recorded in kilograms, with highest value from the trials used to measure handgrip strength. By comparing these results with normative data based on age, gender, and other demographic factors, we finalize the data for clinical evaluations and rehabilitation planning. Understanding that every human body is unique, accurately measuring muscle data can be challenging. We use handgrip dynamometry to improve performance and prevent musculoskeletal issues.

Isokinetic Dynamometry
Precision in muscle assessment

Isokinetic Dynamometry Application

Isokinetic dynamometry assesses muscle strength by controlling the speed of movement through a specific range of motion using specialized equipment. This method provides precise measurements of muscle performance under constant velocity conditions, offering valuable insights into muscle imbalances. Isokinetic dynamometry application is a safe assessment tool for individuals of all ages like children, adults or pregnant women. This testing method is particularly valuable for evaluating muscle strength after injuries or surgeries, tracking rehabilitation progress and creating personalized exercise programs. Our physiotherapist specializes in analyzing athletic performance and optimizing training regimens. Schedule an online rehab consultation in Chennai at Sport-Fit Physio Care.
