Module: Muscle Power Grading
In this module, you will gain an understanding of the various aspects of Muscle Power Grading scale including:
- Purpose and clinical relevance of muscle power grading
- Overview of the grading scale (0 to 5)
- Step-by-step technique for assessing muscle strength
- Interpretation of grades
- Common errors during a muscle strength assessment
This module provides a systematic demonstration of the Muscle Power Grading scale, a fundamental tool used in neurological and physical assessments to evaluate a patient’s motor strength. The module covers the standard 0–5 grading system, highlighting what each grade signifies, how to apply resistance correctly, and key techniques to ensure accurate assessment of both upper and lower limb muscle groups. By incorporating clinical case examples, common pitfalls, and interactive practice scenarios, the module strengthens learners’ competency in performing and documenting muscle power assessments—critical for monitoring neuromuscular function, planning physiotherapy, and evaluating recovery in various clinical settings.
