Conditions
Summary
The purpose of this study is to assess the reliability (intra-rater and inter-rater) and criterion validity (using a Cybex isokinetic dynamometer as the reference) of the K-Pull (traction) dynamometer for evaluating lower limb function in children with neurotypical development.
Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria3
- typically developing children,
- between the ages of 5 and 16 years,
- have the capacity for voluntary motor control
Exclusion Criteria3
- undergone any treatment or intervention that could impact neuromuscular performance, such as surgery or medication use,
- experienced a recent injury
- demonstrating low levels of compliance during assessments are not included in the study.

Interventions
K-Pull dynamometer (Model MP.09.02.FN, Kinvent, Montpellier, France) is an assessment tool used to quantify muscle strength. It uses traction through a non-elastic strap to facilitate isometric contractions. This instrument will be used to evaluate isometric activity (maximum and average torque values) of the hip and knee flexors and extensors at specific joint angles.
