Test Muscolari Manuali
A book for Rehabilitation, Health and Sport professionals.
This book, the fruit of more than twenty years of experience by Roberto Benis, is the ideal handbook for professionals who want to improve their tactile and kinaesthetic skills, refining their command of reliable and meaningful tests. It is meant as a quick, specific and direct guide for all health and wellness practitioners who build personalised programmes for their clients. Analytical strength tests, known in the international literature as Manual Muscle Tests (MMT), are practical tests that have been used for many years.
Manual Muscle Testing
For Rehabilitation, Health and Sport professionals
Muscle strength tests are widely used in many fields of health science: from neurological medicine and rehabilitation to exercise and sports science, through more specific applications such as Anglo-Saxon kinesiology or osteopathy. Analytical muscle strength tests are also widely used in the Corrective Exercise Method to complete an in-depth assessment of the subject when creating a personalised exercise programme. This book aims to be a quick, specific and direct guide for all health and wellness practitioners who approach their clients to create personalised work programmes.
Functional Anatomy and Main Manual Muscle Tests
Understanding functional anatomy is essential for professionals working in sport and wellness, because it makes it possible to assess, diagnose and effectively treat musculoskeletal disorders.

Application and Correction
Analytical strength tests, known in the international literature as Manual Muscle Tests (MMT), are very practical tests that have been used for many years. Their purpose is to check the level of contractility, and therefore the strength expressed by a muscle. Analytical strength tests can be performed for a large number of muscles, practically for all those muscles that move joints or joint segments on which the practitioner can apply resistance.
The muscle test is reliable if the practitioner follows very precise assessment criteria, so that it is as repeatable as possible; it nevertheless remains a test that requires great skill from whoever performs it.

Presentation
Topics covered
How to Perform and Assess Manual Muscle Tests
Reading this handbook, students and professionals will be guided through a learning path that will help them form a clear view of the main conceptual references on body composition and its role in sports science. Finally, the notions on assessment techniques will enable the transfer of knowledge from theory to practice, particularly in sport.
Look inside the Book:
Manual Muscle Testing
Recently, training methods have increasingly turned to a global view of the body, with corresponding global exercises often, and sometimes improperly, called "functional". In this perspective, the analytical muscle strength test is a useful aid both for regional assessment and for assessing the improvement of tonic transmission within myofascial chains after manual treatments or global exercises.
