Name of Scale and Number of Units
MRC Scale - Extended
11 Point MRC Scale
Description of Scale
(5) Normal strength
(5-) Equivocal, barely detectable weakness
(4+) Definite but slight weakness
(4) Able to move the joint against combination of gravity and some resistence
(4-) Capable of minimal resistance
(3+) Capable of transient resistance but collapses abruptly
(3) Able to move through full range against gravity without resistance to the movement
(3-) Able to move against gravity but not through full range
(2) Able to move with gravity eliminated
(1) Flicker of movement
(0) No movement
Sum Score Calculations
The MRC score for each muscle tested is summed.
Sub-Score Calculations
Upper Extremity (includes all shoulder, arm and hand muscles)
Lower Extremity (incldues hip, leg and foot muscles)
Scoring Range
0 - 140
