strength assessment of individual/specific muscle groups Explanation: "The strength assessment of individual muscle groups showed/revealed mild hip flexor paresis (grade 4/5) on both sides and paresis of the dorsal flexor, left (grade 4/5)" Der Kraftgrad ist eine semiquantitative klinische Einteilung, die der Beurteilung der Muskelkraft des Patienten dient. Er wird im Rahmen der Extremitätenuntersuchung erhoben und in Anlehnung an das British Medical Research Council in sechs Kraftgrade eingeteilt. Auch Lähmungen kann man mit diesen Kraftgraden beschreiben. Kraftgrade M0 Keine Muskelaktivität M1 Sichtbare Muskelkontraktion ohne Bewegungseffekt M2 Bewegung bei Ausschaltung der Schwerkraft M3 Bewegung gegen die Schwerkraft M4 Bewegung gegen Widerstand M5 Normale Muskelkraft https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00113-007-1388-2/... Muscle strength classification • 0/5: no contraction • 1/5: muscle flicker, but no movement • 2/5: movement possible, but not against gravity (test the joint in its horizontal plane) • 3/5: movement possible against gravity, but not against resistance by the examiner • 4/5: movement possible against some resistance by the examiner (sometimes this category is subdivided further into 4–/5, 4/5, and 4+/5) • 5/5: normal strength • http://www.neuroexam.com/neuroexam/content29.html Very little resistance should be used in testing an individual muscle to avoid activating the whole synergy. https://tinyurl.com/y6f9lrce Limbs are inspected for weakness (when extended, a weak limb drifts downward), tremor, and other involuntary movements. The strength of specific muscle groups is tested against resistance, and one side of the body is compared with the other. https://www.merckmanuals.com/en-ca/professional/neurologic-d... |
