| Abstract: | Background A sit-to-stand (STS) movement requires muscle strength higher than that of other daily activities. There are many elderly
people, who experience difficulty when standing up from a chair. The muscle strength required (or the load on the joints)
during a STS task is determined by the kinematics (movement pattern). The purpose of this study was to evaluate the kinematics
and resultant joint moments of people standing up from a chair in order to determine the minimum peak joint moments required
for a STS task. |
