Title | Change From Baseline in Peak Jump Force Standard Deviation Score (PJF-SDS; Two-leg-jump) in Full Analysis Set (FAS) Population at Month 6 |
---|---|
Description | PJF was defined as the maximum of force of the ascending part of the jump which the participant performed as a counter-movement jump with freely moving arms and as high as possible with the head and chest. It was measured by Leonardo Jumping Platform during two-leg jump. The SDS indicates how similar the participant was to the reference population. |

Description | K-ABC was assessed in children between 2.5-12.5 years. Comprised of 16 subtests; 10 mental processing (intelligence) and 6 achievement subtests. Achievement subtests: expressive vocabulary, faces&places, arithmetic, riddles, reading/decoding, reading/comprehension. Sixteen subtests were weighted accordingly to form 5 global scales: sequential processing, simultaneous processing, achievement, non-verbal and mental processing composite. Scores were rated as upper extreme [greater than (>) 131], above average (116-130), average (85-115), below average (70-84), lower extreme [less than (<) 69]. |

Five stand up test: five repetitions of rising from a chair on jump plate as quickly as possible with arms crossed over the chest (time to perform the tasks, maximal PJP, maximal velocity and maximal PJF). PJP is defined as the peak of the calculated power (force multiplied by velocity). |
