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 …

There are 3 significant challenges to sit-to-stand:(a) bringing the center of mass forward,(b)
vertically raising the center of mass from the sitting to standing position, and (c) transition …

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 …

Study Design. A cross-sectional study to examine the sagittal kinematics of spine and lower
limb movement during sit-to-stand (STS). Objective. To describe the sagittal kinematics of …

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 …

The purpose of this study was to establish the region of stability of balance control using the
center of mass (COM) acceleration and to characterize age-related differences during sit-to …

OBJECTIVE: The ability to stand independently and safely from the seated position is
essential for independent function. This investigation determined the relative contributions of …

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 …

Background and aims Although chair seat height affects the performance of sit-to-stand
movement, no previous study has examined the influence of chair seat height on the 30 …

Background. Changes in performance of standing up from a chair have been related to
measures of strength or power. However, the sit-to-stand (STS) transfer requires that the …
