Muscle strength assessment is a process used to evaluate the strength and endurance of muscles to identify areas of weakness or imbalance that may affect functional movement or contribute to injury. This assessment is commonly used in rehabilitation to guide treatment plans and monitor progress in patients recovering from injury or surgery.

The assessment typically involves a combination of manual muscle testing, dynamometers, or resistance exercises to measure muscle strength. Healthcare providers use the results to identify specific areas where strength needs to be improved and to design exercises that target these muscles.

Muscle strength assessment is essential for ensuring that rehabilitation programs effectively restore muscle function, improve mobility, and prevent future injuries.
