Zero (0/5) MMT Grade

No movement, no muscle activity.

Trace (1/5) MMT Grade

No movement, muscle activity.

Poor minus (2-/5) MMT Grade

Unable to complete full ROM in gravity eliminated (GE).

Poor (2/5) MMT Grade

Full ROM in gravity eliminated (GE).

Poor plus (2+/5) MMT Grade

Initiates movement against gravity (AG).

Fair minus (3-/5) MMT Grade

At least $\frac{1}{2}$ ROM against gravity (AG).

Fair (3/5) MMT Grade

Full ROM against gravity (AG).

Fair plus (3+/5) MMT Grade

Full ROM against gravity (AG) with min resistance.

Good minus (4-/5) MMT Grade

Full ROM against gravity (AG) with min/mod resistance.

Good (4/5) MMT Grade

Full ROM against gravity (AG) with mod resistance.

Good plus (4+/5) MMT Grade

Full ROM against gravity (AG) with mod/max resistance.

Normal (5/5) MMT Grade

Full ROM against gravity (AG) with max resistance.

Ely's Test

Patient in prone while the therapist passively flexes the patient's knee;

Ober's Test

Patient in sidelying with lower leg flexed at hip and knee; therapist moves the test leg into hip extension and abduction, then slowly lowers it;

Piriformis Test

Patient in sidelying with test leg toward ceiling and hip flexed to $60\text{ degrees}$; therapist stabilizes pelvis and applies downward (adduction) force on knee;

Thomas Test

Patient in supine with legs fully extended and brings one knee to the chest to flatten the lumbar spine while therapist observes contralateral hip;

Trendelenburg Test

Patient in standing is asked to stand on one leg for approximately $10\text{ seconds}$;

WB

Weight baring.

PWB

Partial weight barring.

WBAT

Weight baring as tolerated.

FWB

Full weight barring.

TTWB

Toe touch weight baring.

THA

Total hip arthroplasty.

THR

Total hip replacement.

AP

Ankle pumps.

SLR

Straight leg raise.

HS

Heel slide.

QS

Quad set.

GS

Glute set.

SAQ

Short arc quad.

LAQ

Long arc quad.

LR

Lumbar rotation.

PPT

Posterior pelvic tilt.

Elys test positive indication

a positive test is indicated by spontaneous hip flexion occurring simultaneously with knee flexion and may be indicative of a rectus femoris contracture.

Obers test positive indication

a positive test is indicated by the inability of the leg to lower to the table while in a sidelying position, suggesting a tight iliotibial band or tensor fascia lata.

piriformis test positive indication

positive test is indicated by pain or tightness, indicative of piriformis tightness or compression on the sciatic nerve caused by the piriformis.

Thomas test positive indication

a positive test is indicated by the straight leg rising from the table, indicative of a hip flexion contracture.

Trendelenburg test positive indication

a positive test is indicated by a drop of the pelvis on the unsupported side, indicative of weakness of the gluteus medius muscle on the supported side.
