Brief Summary
The aim of this study is to measure task-specific maximal strength and motor fatigability during functional daily activities involving the upper limbs in typically developing children. The focus is on determining the test-retest reliability of these measurements. In addition, the results are compared with existing data from children with cerebral palsy (CP). Through this comparison, we aim to gain insight into the motor limitations experienced by children with CP when performing everyday tasks.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Motor fatigability during functional upper limb lifting tasks
Motor fatigability during lifting tasks will be quantified using the Static Fatigue Index (SFI, %) derived from the force-time curve recorded with the Activities of Daily Living - Test and Training Device (ADL-TTD). Higher SFI values indicate higher motor fatigability.
Two assessments separated by 20 minutes to assess test-retest reliability
Secondary Outcomes (2)
Maximal strength during functional upper limb lifting tasks
Two assessments separated by 20 minutes to assess test-retest reliability
Object orientation during functional upper limb lifting tasks
Two assessments separated by 20 minutes to assess test-retest reliability
Study Arms (1)
Typically developing children
Eligibility Criteria
The study population consists of typically developing children from the general community. Participants may be recruited through flyers, personal networks, schools, youth organizations, UHasselt staff, social media, and during UHasselt's Science Day.
You may qualify if:
- Age between 7 and 18 years
- Sufficient understanding of the Dutch language to comprehend and perform the test procedures (also applicable to the parents/legal guardians)
You may not qualify if:
- Upper limb movement problems within the past 6 months
- Trauma to the upper limb within the past 6 months
