简要总结
The aim of this study was to compare lower extremity muscle strength, posture disorders and physical activity levels of children with and without walker use during infancy. Thirty-nine children aged between 8 and 15 years were included. Demographic data, New York Posture Analysis Questionnaire and Physical Activity Assessment Questionnaire Scale (PAQ-C) were collected. Muscle strength was measured with a digital muscle strength meter.
详细描述
This study aimed to compare lower extremity muscle strength, postural disorders, and physical activity levels of children who used and did not use a walker during infancy.
The study included 39 children aged between 8 and 15 years. The demographic information of the children, their motor development stages and walker use situations, the age at which they started using it, and the duration of use were questioned. The New York Posture Analysis Questionnaire and Physical Activity Assessment Questionnaire Scale (PAQ-C) were administered to the children. Muscle strength was measured with a digital muscle strength meter.
