The original ref for oxford grading is
Medical research council (1943); aids to the investigation of peripheral
nerve injuries. War memorandum (2nd ed) London HMSO
I don't know if this is the specific area that you are interested in but
here are some references in relation to oxford muscle testing in
neuromuscular disorders; reliability,limitations, sensitivity etc. Hope they
help

Dear list members,
Does anyone know of any good references for Oxford scale classification of
muscle strength?
Thanks,
Geoff.
