    The study evaluated the reliability of instrumented measurements of ankle resistance and muscle strength in children.

  • 2

    Eleven typically developing children aged 7–14 years participated in the test-retest design study.

  • 3

    Passive ankle resistance was assessed using the NeuroFlexor, measuring movements from plantarflexion to dorsiflexion.

  • 4

    Intraclass correlation coefficients indicated good to excellent reliability for stiffness and muscle strength measurements.

  • 5

    Further research is needed to explore the application of these measurements in clinical populations.
