Modified Medical Research Council scale: 5 = completes movement through full range of motion (ROM) against gravity with maximal resistance; 4 = full ROM against gravity with moderate resistance; 3 = full ROM against gravity; 2 = full ROM with gravity eliminated. The qualifiers + and ā€“ indicate the amount of ROM the patient is able to complete within each level of resistance.
