The following table provides a summary of the Kendall Muscle Grading system. For more information on manual muscle testing and assessing strength, please see: Assessing Muscle Strength.
| Description | Grade | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| No movement | No contraction felt or seen in the muscle | Zero | 0 | |
| Tendon becomes prominent or feeble contraction felt in muscle with no visible movement | Trace | 1 | T | |
| Supported in horizontal plane | Movement through partial range of motion | Poor - | 2- | 1 |
| Movement through complete range of motion for the muscle being tested | Poor | 2 | 2 | |
| Holds against slight pressure in test position | Poor + | 2+ | 3 | |
| Tested in an antigravity position | Moves through partial range of motion against gravity | Poor + | 2+ | 3 |
| Gradual release from test position occurs | Fair - | 3- | 4 | |
| Holds test position (no added pressure) | Fair | 3 | 5 | |
| Holds test position against slight pressure | Fair + | 3+ | 6 | |
| Holds test position against slight to moderate pressure | Good - | 4- | 7 | |
| Holds test position against moderate pressure | Good | 4 | 8 | |
