Measurement of factors which potentially influenced posture was restricted to age, gender, height, weight, recent pain and gross motor control ability in relation to co-ordination, strength, balance and flexibility (using the Brace test) [ 20].
Mean (SD) for height, weight and motor control (Brace Test scores) are provided per age group in Table 2.
Nine WF quasi-static cyclic brace tests (Fell et al., 2006; Tremblay et al., 2008; Richard, 2009) are used to validate the finite element model presented here.
Height, weight, motor control estimates (as measured by the Brace Tests) and presence of recent pain were recorded for each child, and the association between the first test measure of posture angles and these factors was assessed using linear regression and ANOVA models.
The Brace tests are validated gross motor skill tests that vary in complexity from very simple (eg walk heel to toe for 10 steps along a line) to very difficult (eg with the free foot, jump over the hand holding the opposite foot).

To research mechanical behaviour of square hollow section (SHS) brace-H-shaped steel chord T-joints under axial compression, eight different β joint specimens with different external stiffeners arrangements at the foot of SHS brace were tested under axial compression in brace.
The results faithfully capture the behaviour of brace-gusset plate test specimens with different non-dimensional brace slenderness, brace cross-section slenderness, connection types and gusset plate detailing.
In addition, one specimen with Chevron bracing was tested as a reference.
