Manual Muscle Strength Grading Chart
Grade Percentage Description
5 (Normal) 100 Complete range of motion against gravity with
full resistance
4 (Good) 75 Complete range of motion against gravity with
some resistance
3 (Fair) 50 Complete range of motion against gravity with
no resistance
2 (Poor) 25 Complete range of motion with gravity
eliminated
1 (Trace) 10 Evidence of slight contractility with no evidence
of joint motion even with gravity eliminated
0 (Zero) 0 No evidence of muscle contractility
