Value Code Name Code Code System Code Description
0 No movement is observed No movement is observed
1 Only a trace or flicker of movement is seen or felt in the muscle or fasciculations are observed in the muscle Only a trace or flicker of movement is seen or felt in the muscle or fasciculations are observed in the muscle
2 Muscle can move only if the resistance of gravity is removed. As an example, the elbow can only be fully flexed only if the arm is maintained in a horizontal plane Muscle can move only if the resistance of gravity is removed. As an example, the elbow can only be fully flexed only if the arm is maintained in a horizontal plane
3 Muscle strength is further reduced such that the joint can be moved only against gravity with the examiner's resistance completely removed. As an example, the elbow can be moved from full extension to full flexion starting with the arm hanging down at the side. Muscle strength is further reduced such that the joint can be moved only against gravity with the examiner's resistance completely removed. As an example, the elbow can be moved from full extension to full flexion starting with the arm hanging down at the side.
4 Muscle strength is reduced but muscle contraction can still move joint against resistance. Muscle strength is reduced but muscle contraction can still move joint against resistance.
5 Muscle contracts normally against full resistance. Muscle contracts normally against full resistance.
