When looking at the isometric strength of Spine flexion and Extension there are multiple positions with limited reliability. We generally find these positions are not suited for clinical practice and recommend testing the spine strength with other assessments, which Measurz contains many!

Spine lateral flexion refers to the bending of the spine sideways, either to the left or right, primarily engaging the muscles along the side of the torso. Performing this movement helps enhance flexibility and strength in the muscles supporting the spine.

Here's how to perform spine lateral...

Spine rotation involves twisting the torso to the left or right, engaging muscles along the spine, abdominals, and obliques. Here's how to perform it:

1. Start Position: Stand or sit tall with an upright posture, keeping your shoulders relaxed.

2. Twisting Motion: Gently rotate your upper...

Testing neck lateral flexion isometric strength with a Muscle Meter involves assessing the maximum force or tension that the neck muscles on one side of the neck can generate when contracting isometrically in a lateral (side-to-side) direction. This test can be useful for evaluating the strength...

Here's how you can test neck extension isometric strength using Muscle Meter:

Materials Needed:

1. Muscle Meter: This is a device used to measure force or muscle strength. It typically consists of a handle and a sensor that quantifies the force applied.

2. Adjustable chair or bench: A stable...

Here is a general overview of the testing protocol for prone hip external rotation (ER) isometric strength:

1. Have the client adopt a prone position on a massage table, with the testing leg flexed at the knee to 90 degrees.
2. It is recommended that the practitioner set themselves up on the...

To test prone hip internal rotation (IR) isometric strength with a Muscle Meter, you can follow these steps:

1. Have the client adopt a prone position on a massage table, with the testing leg flexed at the knee to 90 degrees.
2. The practitioner should manually bring the client’s leg...

To test toe extension isometric strength, follow these general steps:

1. Have the client adopt a supine position, lying down on a table with their shoes and socks off. Ask the client to slide down the table until their toes of the testing foot are hanging just over the edge of the table. ...

2. ...

To test grip strength isometric strength with a Muscle Meter, you can follow these steps:

1. Have the client seated in an upright position, with the elbow tucked into their torso and flexed to 90 degrees. The elbow should also be in a neutral position of pronation and supination.
2. Once set, hand the...

Here is a general protocol for testing elbow extension isometric strength with a Muscle Meter:

1. Have the client seated in an upright position, with their elbow tucked into their torso and flexed to 90 degrees, or perhaps a little bit more. The client’s elbow should be in a supinated...
