MMT Technique:
MMT Table
- ROM must be assessed first
- Therapist first explains what they will be doing to patient
- Demonstrate the movements
- First attempt against gravity and have patient move through ROM
- Patient repeats movement and therapist stabilizes proximally, palpates muscle group being assessed, and applys resistance distally
- Resistance is first applied minimally, then moderately, and finally maximally
- Be sure to have patient tell therapist if they are experiencing any pain so they can stop
- Upon applying resistance tell patient "don't let me push you down"
