This guide was developed out of a need to assist thetherapist in utilizing a standard method of muscletesting in patients at this facility.
It is based on the denials and Worthingham methodof muscle testing.
It was originally developed approximately a longtime ago as a procedure to assist physiotherapystudents who working with the physically disabled.
Since that time it has been utilized by staff, whohave given suggestions over a period of years tomake it more meaningful and useful to gainproficiency and consistency in muscle testing.
 
Introduction
The general direction of treatment today is toconsider the whole patient in terms of what we do tohelp him gain maximum recovery and independence.
To accomplish this we must think of him in terms of his status at the beginning of treatment, theprognosis, the plan of treatment and the progressnoted under this plan.
It should be a matter of professional pride that we beable to provide accurate and meaningful information,when it is requested of us.
