Manual Muscle Testing
Subject: Manual Muscle Testing

is measured on a grading system 1 through 5. Each of these can have a minus, a plus, or nothing.  The use of plus or minus is based on the subjective decision of the examiner.   1/5,  1+/5,  1-/5  These are one over five, one plus over five and one minus over five.  The numerator One is Trace strength, Two is poor, Three is Fair, Four is Good, and Five is Normal.   A grade of 3/5 means the person can move against gravity.  So yes, 4-/5 means Good Minus.

The OP had used Google and found instances of both words being used. Sounds more like the OP was looking for some help with the proper usage of the word in the context of a report. I don't see why she (or he) caught any grief for asking for opinions on the proper term to use.

    when doing the Google wildcard search you can use the MINUS(-) exception to narrow the search matches; you can also enter multiple asterisks within the quotes, e.g. "medial * * skin lesion" -biopsy will return all possible matches EXCEPT biopsy; hope that's not confusing...and hope it helps.
