In the late 's, the manual muscle testing returned to Sweden again, Nine (approximately%) of testers identified their “normally done” muscle test as examiner-started,(19%) as patient-started and(38%) as simultaneous or undifferentiated. In % of the MMT described as examiner started, sEMG showed that the examiner's contraction started before the patient's. This is followed by the The author is a highly credible authority in the field of muscle testing and function. The other hand The practical use of manual muscle testing in analysis and diagnosis was deepened and further developed in the United States by chiropractor George Goodheart and chiropractor Alan Beardall in the s and s, within Applied Kinesiology and Clinical Kinesiology.
