When rising from a chair, older adults have been reported to use a strategy in which the
trunk is flexed to a greater extent than young adults, a strategy attributed by some to …

This study investigates the influence of chair height on the dynamics of sit-to-stand for two
age groups. Eleven young (25–36 years) and 10 older (61–79 years) adults participated …

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of ageing on body sway during sit-
tostand movement from a chair and on quadriceps muscle strength in the elderly population …

The height of a chair seat affects the burden on the lower limbs during the sit-to-stand (STS).
To develop an objective test to evaluate muscle function of the lower limbs using floor …

BACKGROUND: With aging, the deterioration of the ability to rise from a chair constitutes a
major source of disability and a factor contributing to the loss of autonomy. The aim of this …

Sitting to standing (STS) is an activity that is performed many times during the course of a
day and is an important prerequisite to the achievement of many functional goals. This …

The ability to rise from a chair or bed is critical to an individual's quality of life because it
determines functional independence. This study was to investigate the effect of bed height …

This study examined the reliability of ground reaction force (GRF) parameters during sit-to-
stand (STS) movements and the relationships between the GRF parameters and lower limb …

This study aimed to examine the relationships between ground reaction force during a sit-to-
stand (STS) movement and physical activity and falling risk of the elderly and the difference …

The sit-to-stand motion of ten healthy subjects, 65 to 76 years old, was evaluated using
kinematic, force plate, and electromyographic data to characterize the sit-to-stand motion …
