Sit-to-stand (STS) transfers are a common human task which involves complex sensorimotor processes to control the highly nonlinear musculoskeletal system. In this paper, typical unassisted and assisted human STS transfers are formulated as optimal feedback control problem that finds a compromise ...

Sit-to-stand transfers are common demanding tasks during activities of daily living and are performed more than 50 times per day. The purpose of this systematic review is to obtain a comprehensive understanding of biomechanical changes during sit-to-stand transfers after THA. Methods Relevant ...
Standing and raising aid, sit-to-stand devices, and active lifts. Designed for all levels of mobility and early mobilisation.
Muscle activation and force production in Parkinson's patients during sit to stand transfers. Clin Biomech (Bristol, Avon) 2004;19:377-84.V. K. Ramsey, T. A. Miszko, and M. Horvat, "Muscle activation and force production in Parkinson's patients during sit to stand transfers," Clinical ...
Physical support of lower limbs during sit-to-stand and stand-to-sit transfers is important for an independent life of paraplegic patients. The purpose of this study is, therefore, to realize the control method of complete paraplegic patients during sit-to-stand and stand-to-sit transfers by ...
The Parkinson's group additionally completed three trials of sit to stand transfers in three conditions: external attentional focus of reaching to targets, external attentional focus of concurrent modeling, and explicit cue for internal attentional focus. Body worn sensors collected sway data, which ...
Sit-to-stand aid Sara Plus lift from Arjo. A powered standing aid designed for active patient transfers, balance, stepping and gait training.
Preferred and fast speed sit-to-stand and stand-to-sit (STS) tests are prevalent in literature, but biomechanical changes between the different speeds of STS have never been studied. Understanding differences between these STS techniques will better inform experimental design for research assessing ...
[19] concluded that there was a high risk of back injury for the handler during patient sit-to-stand transfers. Facilitation of normal movement patterns is integral to the promotion of independent movement. Whilst equipment may reduce the risk of injury to physiotherapists, it must be ...
