5
The patient actively moves through complete gravity resisted ROM and holds against maximal resistance. The patient does not yield to break test.
4
The patient actively moves through complete gravity resisted ROM and holds against moderate resistance. The patient yields to the break test.
3+
The patient can actively move through complete gravity resisted ROM and can hold against minimal manual resistance. The patient yields to the break test.
3
The patient actively moves through complete gravity resisted ROM (AROM = PROM) but cannot take an resistance in addition to gravity.
3-
The patient actively moves through more than 50% but less than 100% of the available gravity resisted ROM
2+
The patient actively moves through less than 50% of the gravity resisted ROM.
2
The patient actively moves through complete ROM in gravity-eliminated position
2-
The patient actively moves through partial ROM in gravity-eliminated position
1
The patient actively attempts to move in a gravity-eliminated position but only a contraction is palpated. No motion occurs.
0
No motion occurs and no contraction is palpable. Assumed patient is already in gravity-eliminated position.
