Category:Muscle Length Testing

This category includes all pages on muscle length testing.

Muscle Length Tests are are performed to determine whether the range of muscle length is normal, limited, or excessive and is used to identify if these changes in muscle extensibility may be contributing to movement impairment and/or symptoms. Muscle length testing consist of movements that increase the distance between origin and insertion, thereby lengthening muscles in directions opposite to the muscles actions, while assessing its resistance to passive lengthening.
