Reliability of Isometric Lower-Extremity Muscle Strength Measurements in Children With Cerebral Palsy: Implications for Measurement Design.

Background. Children with cerebral palsy (CP) typically show muscle weakness of the lower extremities, which can be measured with the use of handheld dynamometry(HHD). Objective. The purposes of this study were: (1) to determine test-retest reliability and measurement error of isometric lower-extrem...
