Transcript (Flexor Hallucis Brevis) Test For Grades 5, 4, 3, 2, 1

Ankle & Foot
(3)
Flexion:
Metatarsophalangeal
Joint
 Range of motion
Great Toe : 0° – 45 °
Lateral Four Toes : 0° – 40 °
Testing position
Supine or sitting, ankle & foot in 0° of dorsiflexion, plantar
flexion, inversion, eversion. MTP in 0° abduction & adduction.
IP 0° of flexion & extension
Stabilization
Stabilize metatarsal to prevent plantar flexion of ankle &
inversion or eversion of foot. Do not hold MTP of other toes in
extension, because tension in transverse metatarsal ligament
will restrict the motion

1- Hallux MP Flexion (Flexor Hallucis Brevis)
Test For Grades 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 and 0
 Patient Position
The patient is short sitting with legs
hanging over the edge of the table.
The ankle is in a neutral position
 Therapist and Patient Instructions
The therapist is seated on a stool in front of the patient. The
test foot rests on the examiner's lap. The therapist stabilizes
the dorsum of the foot just below the ankle with one hand,
and uses the index finger of the other hand to resist
beneath the proximal phalanx of the great toe. Ask the
patient to, “Bend your big toe over my finger. Hold it.
Don’t let me straighten it.”
Test For Grades 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 and 0
Grade 5 (Normal): completes full range of motion and holds against maximal
resistance.
Grade 4 (Good): completes available range of motion and holds against strong
to moderate resistance.
Grade 3 (Fair): patient completes available range of MP flexion of great toe but
unable to hold against any resistance
Grade 2 (Poor): completes only partial range of motion.
Grade 1 (Trace): therapist my note contractile activity but no toe motion
Grade 0 (Zero): no contractile activity
2- Toe MP Flexion (Lumbricales)
Test For Grades 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 and 0
 Patient Position
The patient is short sitting with legs
hanging over the edge of the table.

 Therapist and Patient Instructions
The therapist is seated on a stool in front of the patient. The
test foot rests on the examiner's lap. The therapist stabilizes
the dorsum of the foot just below the ankle with one hand,
and uses the index finger of the other hand to resist
beneath the MP joints of the four lesser toes. Then patient
actively flexes the toes at the MP joints, keeping the IP
joints neutral. Ask the patient to, “Bend your toes over my
