Functional Strength in Children with Developmental Disabilities: An Exploratory Comparison of Three Clinical Cohorts Including Children with Developmental Coordination Disorder, Intellectual Disabilities, and Cerebral Palsy

Background

This study presents an exploratory comparison of data from three previously collected clinical cohorts. The first aim was to compare functional strength performance among a cohort of children with Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD), Intellectual Disabilities (ID), and Cerebral Palsy (CP). The second aim was to examine whether the associations between age and functional strength performance differed across these cohorts.
