Brief Summary

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

The hip extensors are essential for upright posture and forward propulsion during gait. Children with diplegic CP often demonstrate reduced muscle strength, which impacts their gait speed and overall mobility. Understanding the relationship between hip extensor strength and gait speed could provide a basis for targeted interventions. This feasibility study will establish whether the handheld dynamometer can reliably measure hip extensor strength and if this strength correlates with gait speed in children with diplegic CP.
