Issue Date: | 2021 | Publisher: | Source: | EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF PEDIATRICS, 180(8), p. 2505-2512 | Abstract: | Upper limb motor fatigability is an important debilitating factor for activities of daily living in clinical pediatric populations. However, the reliability of fatigability protocols in these populations is currently unknown. Therefore, the current study investigates test-retest reliability of a static and dynamic motor fatigability protocol for grip and pinch strength in typically developing children (TDC). Eighty-nine TDC (35 boys, 54 girls; mean age 10 years 11 months) used a grip and pinch dynamometer for static (sustained) and dynamic (repeated) contractions during 30s. For static motor fatigability (SFI), mean (Fmean) and SD (Fvar) of force were calculated, and for dynamic motor fatigability, F mean and number of peaks (Npeaks) were calculated. Intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC) were calculated. ICCs of F mean in static and dynamic motor fatigability were high (ICC: 0.94-0.96 and 0.91-0.98). ICCs were moderate to high for F var (ICC: 0.67-0.85). The SFI showed moderate ICCs (ICC: 0.69-0.77). ICCs were moderate to high for N peaks (ICC: 0.78-0.91). Conclusion: The results suggest that static and dynamic motor fatigability in for grip and pinch can be used reliably in TD children aged 6-18 years. | Keywords: | Upper limbs;Pediatric rehabilitation;Motor fatigability | Document URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/1942/33987 | ISSN: | 0340-6199 | e-ISSN: | 1432-1076 | DOI: | 10.1007/s00431-021-04033-y | ISI #: | WOS:000641211400002 | Rights: | The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature 2021 | Category: | A1 | Type: | Journal Contribution | Validations: | ecoom 2022 |
