Manual Muscle Testing (MMT) - Ankle

Welcome to our in-depth tutorial on Manual Muscle Testing (MMT) for lower extremity, specifically the ankle. MMT is a fundamental skill in kinesiology and physical therapy. In this video, we analyze how to perform a manual muscle test on the ankle, explore the range of motion (ROM) for the ankle, asses each grade and what they look like, and identify where there might be weakness.

Join us as we break down the grading system of manual muscle testing, from Grade 0 to Grade 5, providing clear demonstrations and explanations for each level. Learn how to accurately perform MMT assessments, and understand the significance of muscle strength deficits so you can provide therapeutic interventions.

Whether you're a seasoned practitioner looking to refine your technique or a student eager to grasp the fundamentals, this video offers invaluable insights and practical tips to elevate your proficiency in manual muscle testing. Enhance your understanding of kinesiology and advance your skills in physical therapy with our comprehensive guide to manual muscle testing for the ankle.
