Which description corresponds to Normal grade 5 in manual muscle testing?

Explanation:
Normal grade 5 means the muscle can move the joint through the full available range against gravity and endure maximal resistance from the examiner. This is the highest level of strength in manual muscle testing, indicating normal or unimpaired muscle power. The description with moderate resistance reflects a slightly lower grade (good strength), while trace contraction with no motion and no contraction describe much lower grades.
