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 proposed system achieves an accuracy 0.808 by using the rigorous inter-...
The so-called sit-to-stand—or sitting-rising—test has made headlines off and on for roughly a decade, with some claiming it can inform you of how likely you are to die in the next several years. The basis for these claims: a2012 study in theEuropean Journal of Preventive Cardiologythat...
Although the validity of the sit-to-stand (STS) test as a measure of lower limb strength has been questioned, it is widely used as such among older adults. The purposes of this study were: 1) to describe five-repetition STS test (FRSTST) performance (time) by adolescents and adults an...
When the intent is to quantify performance of lower extremity muscles, the sit-to-stand test is a practical alternative to manual muscle testing and various instrumented options.

The 6-min walking test (6MWT) is one of the most commonly used tests to assess exercise capacity during chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However, it is a relatively time-consuming test. Many authors assessed the usefulness of simpler methods, as the sit-to-stand test (STST),...
In this extended version of this paper, an automatic video diagnosis system for dementia classification is presented. 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...
The Sit-to-Stand (STS) test has proven utility in chronic disease, but psychometric properties post-LTx are unknown. The study aimed to assess reliability, validity, responsiveness, and feasibility of the 60-second STS post-LTx. METHODS. This was a measurement study in 62 inpatients post-LTx...
The Sit-to-Stand test (STST) involves comparing the change in a person's non-weight-bearing and weight- bearing foot posture to quickly classify a person's overall foot mobility. Despite the simplicity of the test, its reliability and validity has not been established. The purpose of this ...
The five-repetition sit-to-stand test: evaluation of a simple and objective tool for the assessment of degenerative pathologies of the lumbar spine OBJECTIVE Recently, objective functional tests have generated interest since they can supplement an objective dimension to clinical assessment. The five-re...
The purpose of this study was to examine the construct validity of the 30SSTS test in persons with MS compared with non-MS healthy controls. Methods: Twenty ambulatory persons with MS and twenty age- and sex-matched healthy controls completed the 30SSTS, Timed 25-Foot Walk (T25FW), Timed...
