Starting position. Range of movement and estimated normal range. Pain during movement. Passive Movement Test Movement tested. Starting position. Range of movement and estimated normal range. Pain during movement. Abnormal resistance during movement. Muscle Strength Grading, Isometric Test "Movement" tested. Starting position. Intensity of muscle contraction. Pain during test.
