(STS) power and body composition parameters [body mass index (BMI) and legs skeletal muscle index (SMI)] with age; (ii) to provide cut-off points for low relative STS power (STS), (iii) to provide normative data for well-functioning older adults and (iv) to assess the association of...
Because it has not been revealed how much muscle strength is required to improve quickness, the purpose of this study was to reveal the relation between movement time and the required muscle strength in a sit to stand (STS) task. Previous research found that the sum of the peak hip and ...
Toe Touch— measure distance from fingertips to ground. Schober test— measures the flexibility of the lumbar spine based on the stretching of the skin over the lumbar spine while bending forwards. Stand & Reach— stand on a raised surface and bend forwards with straight legs. Measure how far...
While the above 7 and 6 item tests may be suitable for standalone testing, this optimised 4-item subset may be an ideal pre-screen test, before selective use of the UPSIT for assessing olfactory dysfunction in the general population. Nevertheless, it is still important to remember that while...
Normative DataSit to walkSeat HeightLead LimbRehabilitationSit-to-walk (STW) is a common transitional motor task not usually included in rehabilitation. Typically, sit-to-stand (STS), pause, then gait initiation (GI) before walking is used, which we term sit-to-stand-and-walk (STSW). ...
While this study provides much-needed normative data on able-bodied children, additional research needs to be done on how the mechanics of the STS movement in children are affected by elements of seat design, and on the mechanics of the STS movement in children with disabilities....

To validate the data, we conducted visual inspection as well as machine-learning based identity and action recognition tests, achieving 97% and 84% accuracy, respectively. The data can serve as a normative reference of gait and sit-to-stand movements in healthy young adults and as training ...
In this work, we propose a reliability analysis for testing the internal consistency of nonlinear recurrence features for sit-to-stand (Si2St) and stand-to-sit (St2Si) activities for motion acceleration data collected by a wearable sensing device for 14 healthy older subjects in the age range ...
Table 4. Examining the associations between relative knee extension strength (KES), relative sit-to-stand (STS) power, usual gait speed (UGS), and fast gait speed (FGS), controlling for age, sex, and BMI, with KES and STS power in the same model. 4. Discussion The purpose of this ...
