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 …

Objective. This study aimed to establish a basis of descriptive data for the sit-stand-sit
movement cycle in 50 normal subjects, 25 male and 25 female, aged between 20.1 and 78.3 …

The purpose of this study was to identify kinetic, kinematic, and electromyographic (EMG)
characteristics during sit-to-stand (STS) in healthy elderly subjects that were affected by …

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 …

We analyzed the movements involved in rising from a knee-high chair in 12 healthy men
weighing within±10% of standard body weight. A regular series of transition points was …

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 …

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 sit-to-stand (STS) maneuver is a common aspect of mobility. In the following review, the
mechanics of the maneuver are briefly reviewed. Thereafter, alternatives for measuring STS …

Objectives. To compare lower limb joint torques during sit-to-stand in normal elderly subjects
and people with Parkinson's disease, using a developed biomechanical model simulating …

Objective. Main purpose of this study was to develop a biomechanical model for the analysis
of sit-to-stand movement in normal and obese subjects. Design. A biomechanical model …
