Purpose: To examine whether a patient's pre-operatively administered five times sit-to-stand (FTSTS) test score, when used alone or when combined with previously established predictors, relates to same-day discharge (SDD) after total knee or hip arthroplasty. Methods...
Starting from video recordings of patients and control subjects, performing sit-to-stand test, the designed system is capable of extracting relevant patterns for binary discern patients with dementia from healthy subjects. The original system achieved an accuracy 0.808 by using the rigorous inter-...
Sit-to-stand test to evaluate knee extensor muscle size and strength in the elderly: a novel approach. The present study examined whether a sit-to-stand score can be related to the force-generating capacity of knee extensor muscles. Fifty-seven subjects (28 ... Yohei,Takai,Megumi,... - ...
What’s more, a low score on the test indicates an increased risk of falls—and falls are the leading cause of injury and injury-related death in older adults. How to improve your score on the sit-to-stand test The good news: “Strength, balance, and flexibility can be improved, no m...
So a higher score was better. And the result was that “each unit increase in SRT score conferred a 21% improvement in survival.” This doesn’t surprise me in the least…but it is great to hear science-backed confirmation of my ideas. ...
Does intensive sit-to-stand training in addition to usual care improve sit-to-stand ability in people who are unable to stand up independently after stroke? Design A multi-centre randomised controlled trial with concealed allocation, assessor blinding and intention-to-treat analysis. Participants Thir...
The Timed Up & Go test (TUG) was administered to assess construct validity. Furthermore, the time score of the LSSWT test was correlated with the Trunk Control Test (TCT), balance performance, the Chair Stand Test (CST) and gait speed. Intra- and interrater reliability were measured, ...
The average time score of three repetitions of the Timed Up and Go (TUG) test[21] was used to evaluate functional mobility. At the start of a sit-stand-sit movement cycle, the subject sat in the back of the seat and had both feet on the ground. Subjects were instructed to stand up...
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 compared to leg extension power (LEP), traditional STS performance and handgrip strength. A total of 628 community...
Hiroaki Kanehisa* and Tetsuo Fukunaga Abstract Background: This study examined whether the age-related change in power, calculated from the score of a sit-to- stand (STS) test, corresponds to those in knee extension torque and leg lean tissue mass in Japanese women aged 50 years or older. ...
