Clinical Scorecard: High Reliability of Instrumented Measurements for Ankle Passive Resistance and Muscle Strength in Pediatric Patients
At a Glance
| Category | Detail |
|---|
| Condition | |
| Key Mechanisms | Instrumented measurements using NeuroFlexor and rig-fixed dynamometer (source needed) |
| Target Population | |
| Care Setting | |
Key Highlights
- Study evaluated reliability of ankle resistance and muscle strength measurements
- Participants included 11 typically developing children (8 girls)
- Good to excellent test-retest reliability for measurements
- Passive ankle resistance assessed over 40° from plantarflexion to dorsiflexion
Guideline-Based Recommendations
Diagnosis
- Use instrumented measurements for assessing ankle resistance and muscle strength (source needed)
Management
- Consider NeuroFlexor and rig-fixed dynamometer for evaluations (source needed)
