简介
Background
The handheld dynamometer (HHD) is a well‐accepted tool to assess muscle strength in children with cerebral palsy (CP), though reliability is not tested for adults with CP and no normative data are available.
Objectives
To present strength levels of lower extremity muscle groups and test‐retest reliability of HHD measurements in ambulatory adults with CP and typically developed (TD) adults.
Design
Case‐control study.
Setting
Human motion laboratory.
Participants
Fifty‐four adults with CP (28 men; Gross Motor Function Classification System [GMFCS] level I/II/III: n = 25/20/9; mean age (SD) = 38 (7) year) and 62 TD adults (31 men; mean age (SD) = 37 (5) year).
Interventions
Not applicable.
Main Outcome Measure(S)
Maximum strength levels were obtained during voluntary isometric contraction of eight lower extremity muscle groups in adults with CP and spastic diplegia and TD adults …
