A more specified measure is motility grade, where the motility of sperm are divided into four different grades: • Grade a: Sperm with progressive motility. These are the strongest and swim fast in a straight line. Sometimes it is also denoted motility IV. • Grade b: (non-linear motility): These also move forward but tend to travel in a curved or crooked motion. Sometimes also denoted motility III. • Grade c: These have non-progressive motility because they do not move forward despite the fact that they move their tails. Sometimes also denoted motility II. • Grade d: These are immotile and fail to move at all. Sometimes also denoted motility I.
