Background Past work has identified relationships between postural stability and joint
kinematics during balance and sit-to-stand tasks. However, this work has not been extended …

Objective: Stand-to-sit task is an important daily function, but there is a lack of research
evidence on whether knee osteoarthritis (knee OA) affects the postural balance during the …

Objective To compare the differences in sit-to-stand and stand-to-sit movements of older
nonfalling males and older male fallers (also referred to herein as fallers) to contribute to the …

Although the ability to recover balance in the lateral direction has important implications with
regard to fall risk in older adults, the effect of visual input on balance recovery in response to …

Background An age-related decline in standing balance control in the medio-lateral
direction is associated with increased risk of falls. A potential approach to improve postural …

Falls in older adults are leading causes of fatal and non-fatal injuries, negatively impacting
quality of life among those in this demographic. Most elderly falls occur due to …

Background The use of inertial measurement units (IMUs) in assessing fall risk is often
limited by subject discomfort and challenges in data interpretation. Additionally, there is a …

Background Stand-to-sit (StandTS) is an important daily activity widely used in rehabilitation
settings to improve strength, postural stability, and mobility. Modifications in movement …

Background Ground reaction force during sit-to-stand motion is related to lower extremity
strength, and such measurements indicating weak muscle strength, may be linked to …

Objective This pilot study compared muscle activity during lateral reaching tasks between
mobile and stable sitting using a novel therapy chair in people after stroke and healthy …
