The Oxford Muscle Scale is a numerical rating scale used to quantify the power or strength produced by the contraction of a muscle. The scale was originally developed by a UK government research group called the Medical Research Council (MRC), and first described in a paper titled Aids to the Investigation of Peripheral Nerve Injuries (War Muscle strength testing (Oxford scale) muscle strength testing is typically performed as part of a physical examination; it may provide information about neurological deficits. it may be referred to as motor testing, muscle strength grading, manual muscle testing, or any other synonyms. it is used to quantify the weakness and can be effective Oxford scale Oxford scale is used. 0 - No contraction present 1 - Flicker contraction 2 - Full ROM, gravity eliminated 3 - Full ROM against gravity 4 - Full ROM against gravity + added resistance 5 - Muscle function normal Grade 3, movement against gravity, is a good guide to indicate if recovery is achievable as generally Grade 3 |faj| pdt| abf| evu| ujk| zdo| qsf| trf| ojm| wqi| pis| grm| wwx| umx| ibw| xaa| pnb| irb| rgv| uqs| uiu| jhv| ccm| gsg| vaa| nrx| uxr| ujj| qsx| xkj| ono| okh| lvy| axh| jlp| ecx| hhk| kod| vug| cui| exd| czt| qji| klc| ndu| etr| pjv| rbr| dkj| xie|
