Manual word means by hand and muscle is a word used for the flash and the muscle fibres that are present in our body and covers the bone and testing means about to test. So manual muscle testing are referred to the techniques that we use by the hands for checking the strength of the muscles.
Basically there are different grades that are used for checking the strength of the muscles while performing the procedures of the manual muscle testing and they are performed by the physical therapist when they check the muscle strength and endurance.

During grade zero when therapist check the muscle strength then there is no movement present in the muscle and no palpitation present in the muscle means there is absence of the contraction in relaxation of the muscle also in this grade.
Grade one is next to great zero and in this grade either there is no movement possible but there is palpitation of muscle occurs mean contraction in relaxation is present in the muscle.
During grade 2 therapist feel that patient muscle have a movement which is very little but in the gravity minimised position or in the position when we eliminate the gravity and it is normally the lying position on the couch.

During grade 3 patient may perform the full range of motion but with the assistance of a therapist. During this grade it is considered that the muscles of the patient are in normal condition but require strengthening.
In grade 4 therapist apply minimum to moderate kind of resistance to the patient muscle which is going to strengthen or on which training or work is required to attend its maximum strength.
Grade 5 is the last grade and the muscles that lie in this grade are considered the muscles with the maximum strength because in this grade therapist apply the maximum resistance to the patient muscle and patient have to bear it.
