Background The use of locomotive devices requires sufficient levels of upper limb strength.
Therefore, it is important to evaluate the maximal isometric torque, rate of torque
development and neuromuscular activation in youth with spina bifida. The objective was to
investigate these parameters in the elbow muscles of youth with spina bifida versus healthy
age-matched peers. Methods Forty-eight participants (8–17 years) were recruited: Spina
Bifida (n= 23) and non-affected Controls (n= 25). Maximal isometric elbow flexor/extensor …
