To determine the within-session reliability of a standardized protocol for using a hand-held dynamometer (HHD) to measure lower-extremity (LE) strength in children with traumatic brain injury (TBI) and to assess any differences in reliability measures when compared with children with typical development (TD) matched for age and sex.
