Muscle fatigue during repetitive voluntary contractions: A comparison between children with cerebral palsy, typically developing children and young healthy adults

Highlights • Lower muscle fatigability is observed in children with CP compared to TD children. • This is demonstrated by combining peak torque and EMG median frequency analyses. • Lower muscle fatigability coincides with lower muscle strength.
