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.

| Traction Dynamometry | Device | 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. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Average Peak Torque | Average Peak Torque refers to the average highest force output recorded during isometric contractions and represents the maximal strength generated by the muscle group being assessed (e.g., hip or knee flexors and extensors). Unit of Measure: Newton-metre (Nm) | Through study completion, an average of 5 months |
