Abstract
⺠Children with cerebral palsy had knee strength deficits, especially knee flexor (KF). ⺠KF strength dominated gross motor function than knee extensor (KE). ⺠KF strength at varying angular velocities was related to various gross motor tasks. ⺠Children with GMFCS level II had lower KF and KE strength than those with level I. ⺠Hamstring-quadriceps ratio may be used as a potential biomarker for strengthening effects.
