Children with CP have diminished eccentric as well as concentric peak torques at the knee and ankle. The influence of spasticity on voluntary force production can be inferred from the bias toward greater eccentric torque and the greater decrement in concentric torque across speeds in children with spastic CP.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
