Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The therapist sets up a resistance to the client's movement in order to check for muscle strength. The client is asked to perform a specific movement using the muscle group in question and the therapist sets up a resistance against the client's movement. This creates an isometric contraction where there is constant muscle contraction without movement. This test assesses for pain, strength or weakness of specific structures.
