Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The testing position for shoulder abduction against gravity is with the shoulder abducted to 90 degrees,so the client is able to attain the testing position and resistance can be applied.Available ROM past 90 degrees is not a concern of manual muscle testing,and testing in the gravity-minimized plane is not necessary.
