About this trial
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 criteria
This trial accepts healthy volunteersQualifiers
typically developing children,
between the ages of 5 and 16 years,
have the capacity for voluntary motor control
Disqualifiers
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.
Trial population
The study population consists of typically developing children aged 5 to 16 years, selected based on specific inclusion and exclusion criteria to ensure the reliability and validity of traction dynamometry.

Treatments tested in this trial
Traction Dynamometry
DeviceK-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.

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)
