gravity eliminated
Explanation:
This is the way strength is graded. As a physio I´m, more familiar with the use of numerical grading (1-5) in English-speaking countries. If the patient is only just able to move the body part actively when gravity is eliminated then they have grade 2 strength. See ref for detials...
