While assessing the muscle tone of a client, the client demonstrates a full range of muscle motion against gravity with some resistance. What score on the Lovett scale can be given to the client?
1. Fair (F)
2. Good (G)
3. Trace (T)
4. Normal (N)

The Lovett scale is a 6-point scale starting at 0 which "no evidence of contractility" and goes up to 5 which is normal, unimpaired ROM. It is used to measure musculoskeletal strength based contractility and ROM,

Find below the full scale with definitions:

Zero (0) : "No evidence of contractility". Trace (T) : "Evidence of slight contractility". Poor (P): "Complete range of motion with gravity eliminated".

Fair (F) : "Complete range of motion with gravity".

Good (G) : "Complete range of motion against gravity with some resistance".

Normal (N) : "Complete range of motion against gravity with full resistance"

While assessing the muscle tone of a client, the client demonstrates a full range of muscle motion against gravity with some resistance. What score on the Lovett scale can be given to the client? 1. Fair (F) 2. Good (G) 3. Trace (T) 4. Normal (N)
