63. Discovering Functional Strength for Infants and Toddlers!
SessionPoster Session 2
DescriptionStrength data for children are used to improve the safety of products for children. For example, gates used to guard hazards in the home are tested to ensure that they cannot be opened or dislodged by the forces that children in the applicable age range can exert. Few studies have measured strength in children younger than 24 months and no standardized strength testing methods are available for younger children. A primary conclusion from synthesizing the prior literature and careful consideration of child development patterns is that a rich dataset of functional strength measures is needed to support product design and the development of safety standards. To address this gap, an investigation was conducted to inform the design of developmentally appropriate tasks, instrumentation, laboratory fixtures, and protocols to measure functional strength for children 6 through 23 months old.
