Physical therapists use a muscle strength grading system to define how a muscle or group of muscles is performing. PTs commonly use the system during an initial evaluation and assessment and at regular intervals to determine a patient's progress during rehabilitation. Therefore, Dr J and Garrett Salpeter discuss assessing joint stability and muscle strength.

In this clip, they talk about manual muscle testing, incorporating it with the Neubie device to assess musculoskeletal issues and where to focus the rehab process. Other tests commonly performed during the evaluation will measure your flexibility, gait (how someone walks or runs), range of motion (how far a body part can move), balance, coordination, and mobility. These initial results help the PT track your progress during rehab.
