Muscle Strength Examination or Assessment Procedures

Musclestrength examination/assessmentprocedures/SOP UNDERSTANDING Muscles are tissues in cause the human body that offunction as active means of movement that move bones. Muscles the movement an organism as well as the movement of organs within that organism PROCEDURE MEASUREMENT OF MUSCLE TONE a. The examiner uses both hands to passively move the forearm at the elbow joint slowly, then quickly b. The examinerslowly usesand boththen hands to passively move the leg below the knee joint repeatedly, quickly c. The resistanceusing felt by examiner whenassessment bending andscale: straightening the limb must be assessed, thethe following muscle 0 = negative +1 = weak + 2 = normal + 3 = increase + 4 = hyperactive MEASUREMENT OF MUSCLE STRENGTH 1) Ask the patientand to stand (if able), observe the skeletal structure and note any abnormalities deformities 2) Observe for contractures by asking the patient to move the extremity joints 3) Ask the patient to stretchand bothmeasure arms forward, observe foroftremors, muscle size (atrophy / hypertrophy) the circumference the extremities (a difference of > 1 cm is considered significant) 4) Palpate the muscles to check for muscle abnormalities 5) Sternocleidomastoid, examiner's hand the patient turns to one side against the resistance of the 6) Trapezius: place both hands on the patient's shoulders, shoulders against the resistance of the examiner's handsask the patient to raise their 7) Deltoideus ask the patient to raise both arms and resist the push of the examiner's hand downwards 8) Pelvic muscles: the patient to liftposition one legthe patient supine with both arms and legs extended, ask 9) Hip abduction: position the patient onpatient's his backknees, with both legsboth extended, place both hands on the lateral surfaces of each stretch legs against the examiner's resistance. 10)Hip adduction: position the patient on his back with both legs extended, place both hands between the patient's knees, ask the patient to apply both legs against the examiner's resistance 11)Muscle palpation to check whether there are muscle abnormalities, muscle strength 12)Biceps: the so patient to extend arms and try to bend them, the examiner holds theaskarms that they remainboth extended 13)Triceps: askefforts the patient to bend both arms try to extend them against the examiner's to keep the patient's armsandflexed 14)Wrist and finger examiner's effortsmuscles: to gatheraskallthefivepatient fingersto stretch all five fingers and resist the 15)Grip ask the the patient's patient togrip grasp the examiner's index and middle fingers, pull bothstrength: fingers from 16)Hamstring: the patient on his back,resistance both knees bent, ask the patient to straighten hisposition legs against the examiner's 17)Quadriceps: position on your back with both knees bent, ask the patient to resist the examiner's efforts to flex the knees 18)Ankle footresist muscles: ask the patient to resist leg andandagain the examiner's attempt to flexthetheexaminer's leg attempt to flex the 19)Palpate extremityand bones and each joint for areas of edema or tenderness, swelling,the crepitation nodules. TERMINATION STAGE 1) Evaluate responses and actions carried out correctly 2) The patient is well groomed 3) Provide education related to follow-up after the action is taken 4) Tools are neatly arranged 5) The subsequent time contract was submitted correctly 6) Therapeutic greetings are delivered in a friendly manner 7) Wash your hands properly
