| mMRC-MMT scale grades | Description |
| 0 | No Movement | 1 | A flicker of movement is seen or felt in the muscle | 2 | Muscle moves the joint when gravity is eliminated | 3− | Muscle moves the joint against gravity but not through full mechanical range of motion | 3 | Muscle cannot hold the joint against resistance but moved the joint fully against gravity | 3+ | Muscle moves the joint fully against gravity and is capable of transient resistance but collapses abruptly | 4− | The same as grade 4, but muscle holds the joint only against minimal resistance | 4 | Muscle holds the joint against a combination of gravity and moderate resistance | 4+ | The same as grade 4, but muscle holds the joints against moderate to maximal resistance | 5− | Barely detectable weakness | 5 | Normal strength |
