Instructions for evaluators: GENERALITIES: To ensure precision and constancy for each evaluation, it is important to:

Know the standard evaluation procedure. It is essential to specifically follow the positions and stabilizations mentioned in the protocol and to use only the recommended accessories. If modifications are necessary, they must be duly noted in the commentary section.

Make sure that you understand the instructions to be given to the subjects and take time to become familiar with the procedure by practicing before you begin the tests. Ideally, you should only keep the measurements with high validity. When in doubt, make a note in the commentary space (ex: Difficulty with cooperation or comprehension, compensation, difficulty to stabilize, presence of spasms, etc.).

If possible, always proceed with the evaluations at the same time of the day for each and every session, so that fatigue does not affect the measurements and verify that the subject is in his usual physical condition (no presence of cold or flu, no unusual physical activity in the last 48 hours before the evaluation, etc.). Always follow the same order for muscular testing from one session to the next.

Make sure that the subject presents no contraindication to undergo the muscular strength

evaluation tests (pain or unusual fatigue). In order to ensure that fatigue is not a significant variable, the order of Quantitative

Muscular Testing (QMT) and Manual Muscular Testing (MMT) will be alternated from one subject to another. For example, subject 1 will first be evaluated by starting with QMT followed by MMT, subject 2 will first be evaluated with MMT followed by QMT, and subject 3 will first be evaluated with QMT followed by MMT, and so on.

Specifically for MMT: During the evaluation of a muscle group, if there is a difference of more than 3 in the

ratings for 2 successive trials, you must do a third test. For analysis, the highest rating (2 tests leading to 2 adjacent ratings) or the median rating between 2 extreme ratings (when 3 tests must be done) will be used.

Specifically for the QMT with the Chatillon Type Manual Dynamometer: Master all aspects of the Chatillon type dynamometer before you begin the evaluation. Make sure that the dynamometer’s surface is always perpendicular to the limb segment and

that it is always applied to the exact same area on the limb segment for every test and session.

Make sure that the evaluator’s and the subject’s positions remain completely stable. Since these tests are “make tests”, you must always wait until you feel the subject’s resistance and not “push” on the limb segment.

During the evaluation of a muscle group, if there is more than a 10% difference between 2

successive tests, you must do a 3rd test. If, after a 3rd test there is still a difference of more than 10% between compared tests, you must then do a fourth and final test.

Feedback:

It is extremely important to encourage the subject in a constant and uniform manner. Use a tone of voice that varies progressively from normal, to strong, to very strong. Use a number of words that will encourage the subject for the entire duration of the test, i.e. 6 to 10 seconds. Suggestions: “Go on, go on, go on, push, push” or “Push hard, push hard, harder, harder” or “Go, go, go, keep going, keep going” …

Use the starting instructions: “1, 2, 3, GO”. It is very important to make sure that the contraction begins at the word “GO” and stops when you say “Relax” and have ceased all verbal encouragement.

1. QUANTIFIED MUSCULAR TESTING (QMT) DORSAL ANKLE FLEXORS SUBJECT’S POSITION: Supine position (lying on his back), legs stretched out, ankles over the edge of the table. Place a

raised half-roll under the knees and a non-slip pad under the subject’s posterior. Ankle tested at 90° dorsi flexion, toes slightly extended. The subject will remain stable by holding the sides of the table with his hands. Place a mirror so that you can observe the patient during the test.

EVALUATOR’S AND DYNAMOMETER’S POSITIONS: The evaluator must be on the same side as the ankle to be tested, with the inferior member adjacent

to the bed at an open angle and facing the front. This enables the evaluator to be as close to the patient as possible and to offer optimal resistance to dorsi flexion.

The surface of the dynamometer is placed on the dorsal surface of the foot as distally as possible to the head of the metatarsus. The dynamometer must be perfectly perpendicular to the foot and situated opposite the dorsi flexion of the ankle.

The evaluator’s elbows must be “locked” into his hips or against his thighs. The forearm adjacent to the member to be evaluated should rest on the table, in contact with the

lateral surface of the leg. Important: When doing this test it is often difficult to keep the dynamometer perpendicular to the surface of the foot. Make sure that the starting position is maintained during the entire test. PROCEDURE: 1. MEASURING THE LENGTH OF THE LIMB SEGMENT: The limb segment must be measured while in the test position, i.e. 90° dorsi flexion (or ˗10 if complete dorsi flexion is impossible). Make a pencil mark on the foot at the point where the dynamometer touches it, on the dorsal surface as distally as possible to the head of the metatarsus. Measure the length of the lever, i.e. the perpendicular distance between the distal extension from the middle of the external malleolus of the ankle and the extension from your mark indicating the upper edge of the part of the dynamometer that touches the foot. Take note of the length of the lever in cm. This distance will be used for all other successive measurements of dorsi flexion strength. Measure the length of both the right and left segments before starting the strength tests. 2. TAKING MEASUREMENTS: a. Always start with the ankle that is the strongest (side that is considered the least affected). b. Check the total possible amplitude of the dorsi flexion movement by manipulating the ankle. If the subject does not have more than 90° of dorsi flexion (neutral position), the evaluation must be done at ˗10 dorsi flexion (take note of this in the commentary section of the evaluation file). c. Ask the subject to perform at least 2 consecutive active pure dorsi flexion movements (guide him if necessary) while in the evaluation position. d. Ask the subject to execute a dorsi flexion effort equivalent to approximately 50% of his maximum capacity. This will enable you to verify the quality of the contraction and the stability of the evaluation position.

e. Take note of any pain with the help of the PPI scale before starting the test. f. Calibrate the Chatillon machine by setting it to zero. g. Ask the subject to execute a progressive voluntary maximal isometric contraction. Encourage the subject throughout the effort by following the above-mentioned instructions. Take note of the Newton force registered for this first test. Immediately rate the presence of pain during effort by using the PPI scale and enter the rating (0 to 5) in the file for the first test. h. Wait 60 seconds and ask for a second maximal isometric contraction. Take note of the result obtained for this second test as well as of the pain intensity for this second effort (PPI 0 to 5). If there is more than a 10% difference between the 2 tests, you must do a 3rd test. As mentioned in the general instructions, you must do a fourth test if needed. i. Repeat steps a to h for the other ankle.

FOOT EVERSORS

SUBJECT’S POSITION: Supine position (lying on his back), legs stretched out, ankles over the edge of the table. Place a

raised half-roll under the knees and a non-slip pad under the subject’s posterior. Ankle tested at 90° dorsi flexion, toes slightly extended. The subject will remain stable by holding the sides of the table with his hands. Place a mirror so that you can observe the patient during the test. To increase the subject’s stability, the knee of the inferior member that is not being tested must

remain flexed with the foot flat on the table. EVALUATOR’S AND DYNAMOMETER’S POSITIONS: The evaluator must be at the end of the table on the side being tested. A strap is attached to the most distal part of the tested leg and to the evaluator’s hip. This strap

ensures a counter resistance which permits to stabilize the inferior member being tested and free both of the evaluator’s hands for a better grip.

The surface of the dynamometer must be right under the fifth metatarsus, perpendicular to the axis of the foot.

The evaluator’s elbows are “blocked” and resting on the thighs or EIAS. PROCEDURE: 1. MEASURING THE LENGTH OF THE LIMB SEGMENT: Make a pencil mark on the foot at the point where the upper edge of the dynamometer touches the foot surface, i.e. on the lateral surface right under the head of the fifth metatarsus. Measure the length of the

lever i.e. the perpendicular distance between the inferior prolongation of the external malleolus of the ankle and your pencil mark indicating the upper edge of the part of the dynamometer that touches the foot. Take note of the length of the lever in cm in the file. This distance will be used for all other successive measurements of dorsi flexion strength. Measure the length of both the right and left segments before starting the strength tests. 2. TAKING MEASUREMENTS: a. Always start with the ankle that is the strongest (side that is considered the least affected). b. Check the total possible amplitude of the dorsi flexion movement by manipulating the ankle. If the subject does not have more than 90° of dorsi flexion (neutral position), the evaluation must be done at ˗10 dorsi flexion (take note of this in the commentary section of the evaluation file). c. Check the total possible amplitude of the eversion movement by manipulating the ankle. Explain to the subject that this is the proper direction for the movement that needs to be done. d. Ask the subject to execute at least 2 consecutive pure active eversion movements (guide him if necessary). e. Ask the subject to make an eversion effort equivalent to approximately 50% of his maximum capacity, which will enable you to verify the quality of the contraction and the stability of the evaluation position. f. Take note of any pain with the help of the PPI scale before starting the test. g. Calibrate the Chatillon machine by setting it to zero. h. Ask the subject to execute a progressive voluntary maximal isometric contraction. Encourage the subject throughout the effort by following the above-mentioned instructions. Take note of the Newton force registered for this first test.

If there is more than a 10% difference between the 2 tests, you must do a 3rd test. As mentioned in the general instructions, you must do a fourth test if needed. j. Repeat steps a to i for the other ankle.
