    Tim, manual muscle testing is a pretty straight forward process provided you know the functional anatomy. I generally use a combination of Kendall and Cyriax approaches. Two books worth buying:
    http://www.amazon.co.uk/Muscles-Testing-Function-Posture-Pain/dp/0781747805
    http://www.amazon.co.uk/Cyriaxs-Illustrated-Manual-Orthopaedic-Medicine/dp/0750632747

    P.S> while such testing is useful clinically, for a research study I would want to see something more sophisticated, at the very least hand held dynamometry, but you'd need to show the reliability, like this: http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2474/10/31
