Background and purpose The ability to rise from a chair to reach a standing position is
impaired after stroke. This paper aims to review for the first time the factors that impact the …

Abstract Background: Sit-to-stand (STS) is a crucial transfer influencing a person's
independence in daily activities, as well as safety and quality of life, and is thus vital to …

Background Anticipatory postural adjustments during gait initiation have an important role in
postural stability but also in gait performance. However, these first phase mechanisms of gait …

Sit-to-stand can be defined as a set of movements that allow humans to rise from a sitting
position to a bipedal standing pose. These movements, often categorized as four distinct …

Abnormal muscle synergies during sit-to-stand (STS) transitions have been observed post-
stroke, which are associated with deteriorated lower-limb function and mobility. Although …

Objective To analyze the relation between contralesional and ipsilesional limbs in subjects
with stroke during step-to-step transition of walking. Design Observational, transversal …

Post-stroke patients exhibit distinct muscle activation electromyography (EMG) features in sit-
to-stand (STS) due to motor deficiency. Muscle activation amplitude, related to muscle …

Background To explore the movement patterns utilized by persons post stroke from the
simultaneous perspective of pelvic and limb loading with the path of centre of mass during …

Standing up from a prone position is a critical daily activity for animals: failing to do so
effectively may cause an injurious fall or increase predation susceptibility. This sit-to-stand …

Most energy spent in walking is due to step-to-step transitions. During this phase, the
interlimb coordination assumes a crucial role to meet the demands of postural and …
