Abstract

Objective: This study investigates the relationships between the Multi-Directional Reach Test (MDRT) and lower extremity strength in typical children.

Methods: The MDRT including forward, backward, leftward, and rightward directions was measured in 60 children aged between 7 and 12 years old with typical development. The lower extremity muscle groups were measured using a hand-held dynamometer.

Results: The reaching score in each direction had positive relationships with the strengths of several lower extremity muscle groups $(r = 0.26$ to $0.52, p < 0.05)$ . Only the strengths of the hip flexor and knee flexor muscles significantly correlated with the MDRT scores in all directions $(r = 0.26$ to $0.50, p < 0.05)$ .

Conclusion: This study highlights the strength of the hip and knee flexor muscle groups as being important domain to control balance in all directions. These findings may be used for therapists in planning a balance program to improve the limits of stability.

7 至 12 岁儿童下肢力量与多向伸展测试之间的关系。

目的：本研究调查了典型儿童多向前移测试（MDRT）与下肢力量之间的关系：本研究调查了典型儿童的多向前移测试（MDRT）与下肢力量之间的关系：方法：对 60 名年龄在 7 至 12 岁之间的典型发育儿童进行了包括向前、向后、向左和向右方向在内的多方向伸手测试。使用手持式测力计测量下肢肌群：每个方向的伸手得分与几个下肢肌群的力量呈正相关（r = 0. 26 至 0. 52，p 0. 05）。只有髋屈肌和膝屈肌的力量与所有方向的 MDRT 分数有明显相关性 ( r = 0 . 26 至 0 . 50 ， p 0 . 05 ) ：本研究强调了髋关节和膝关节屈肌肌群的力量是控制各个方向平衡的重要领域。这些研究结果可用于治疗师规划平衡计划，以改善稳定性的极限。
