Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the reliability (intra-rater and inter-rater) of the K-Pull dynamometer and the K-Myo non-invasive electromyography sensor (assessing neuromuscular activity) in the evaluation of the lower limbs in children with cerebral palsy.

Specific objectives include:

* Examining differences in neuromuscular activity among children with CP classified at functional levels I to III on the GMFCS scale.
* Deriving conclusions from the correlation between electromyographic activity, muscle tone, and generated muscle strength.
* Assessing the applicability of neuromuscular activity assessment devices in clinical settings.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Children with Cerebral Palsy

Children with cerebral palsy, aged 5 to 16 years, classified at GMFCS levels I to III.

Neuromuscular Activity Assessment

Intervention Type DEVICE

K-Pull dynamometer is an assessment tool used to quantify muscle strength. It uses traction through a non-elastic strap to facilitate isometric contractions.

K-Myo (non-invasive EMG sensor) is an assessment tool used to detect muscle activation and tracking patient's improvement.
