I've always viewed competant muscle testing as asking a question of motor and sensory nerves. The question is: can you hold this position/angle of movement?
Answers include:
yes with gusto,
sorta but only with pain,
sorta for a only short time,
absolutely no,
not really because I braced elsewhere first,
and "that question is incomprehensible so I changed the question and did another movement entirely. "
Parsing out those answers and making the brain aware of the body's responses can instantly change ROM, pain, and coordination.
