Which scale is used to asses the muscle strength (power)

Medical research counsilgrad

Grade 0

No contractions are seen

Grade 1

Flicker or trace of contraction

Grade 2 or 2/5

Active movement only with gravity eliminated (patient move limbs to the sides)

Grade 3

Active movement against gravity but no resistance (patient should lift limbs)

Grade 4

Active movement against gravity and some resistance (create resistance and ask patient to move against it )

Grade 5
