With ease, you can quickly and independently learn the 20 major muscle tests for the human torso. With help from this app, physiotherapists, doctors, midwives, occupational therapists, massage therapists, and other health professionals can learn muscle testing. Bones, ligaments, fascia, and muscles produce the human musculoskeletal system. If a part of the human "chassis" is injured, it affects not only wellbeing, but can also affect parts of the musculoskeletal system. Due to the close interaction of all components, it is not always easy to recognize the origin of the problem.
Muscle testing can help gather more specific details.
Building on our international print bestseller "Muscle Testing – A Practical Guide", we have developed this app. Compiled by leading therapists from the Perfect Therapy Academy in Germany.
Within the app, you will find simple and easy to remember symbols. These symbols will guide you through individual tests and show the expected outcome or reaction. We hope that our guide fulfills your muscle testing purpose and supports your work.
