Lower Extremity Dynamometry Assessment in Neurotypical Children
Sponsor: University of Thessaly
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.

Interventions
Traction Dynamometry
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.
