Objective To investigate construct validity of linear encoder measurement of sit-to-stand
performance power in older people by showing associations with relevant functional …

Estimating lower-limb muscle power during sit-to-stand (STS) tests is feasible for large-scale
implementation. This study investigated 1) whether age, functional limitations and sex have …

The Tendo Unit (TU) and GymAware (GA) are the two most frequently used linear
transducers for assessing muscle power in older adults via the sit-to-stand (STS) test. Unlike …

This investigation examined differences in functional sit-to-stand power/velocity between
cohorts of adults aged 18–97 years. This study included 264 healthy adults classified into …

Objectives Muscle power is important for an older adult's physical independence and can be
easily estimated using the sit-to-stand test. This investigation aimed to assess whether …

This study aimed to assess the validity and functional relevance of a standardized procedure
to assess lower limb muscle power by means of the 30-s sit-to-stand (STS) test when …

Objectives This study aimed i) to assess the assumptions made in the sit-to-stand (STS)
muscle power test [body mass accelerated during the ascending phase (90% of total body …

Background Muscle power assessment entails the use of complex equipment which impacts
its clinical applicability. Recently, equations to estimate lower-limb muscle power measures …

Among the healthy elderly, sit-to-stand (STS) movement largely depends on:(a) trunk
bending momentum,(b) centre of gravity (CG) position before the body rises and (c) lower …

Background and Purpose: When evaluating health in older adults, batteries of tests are
typically utilized to assess functional fitness. Unfortunately, physician's visits are time …
