Muscle Strength as Measured Through Muscle Testing Is Most Reliable

question 8

Multiple Choice

Muscle strength as measured through muscle testing is most reliable when performed with objective dynamometers. A common type of dynamometer permits the testing of muscle in terms of pounds-feet of torque produced at a given speed. Why would this be considered an advantage when working with an injured population?

• A)It only measures one joint at a time, hence one major muscle group.
• B)It only measures antagonists at their weakest point.
• C)The joint is isolated and well supported so that there is less of a chance of injury to the proximal joints of the patient.
• D)It only provides resistance if a patient is moving against it; if he or she feels discomfort, he or she can stop without resistance or potential injury.
