Manual Muscle Testing: Neck flexion
Manual Muscle Test: Neck flexion: AG Body Position
AG Body Position: Start: Supine. Arms over the head resting on the table. Elbows are flexed. Stabilization: Trunk Movement: Head and neck flexion - keep chin tucked in and depressed Palpation: Sternomastoid Resistance Location: Forehead Resistance Direction: Head and neck extension Don't let me push you down
Manual Muscle Test: Neck flexion: Gravity Eliminated
GE Body Position: Re-test in the side-lying position
MMT - Gravity Eliminated Position
If the patient cannot move against gravity, the patient is repositioned to allow movement of the extremity with gravity eliminated. If supporting the limb, the examiner provides neither assistance nor resistance to the patient's voluntary movement. This gravity-eliminated positioning will vary for each muscle tested.
