Daily sit-to-stands performed by adults: a systematic review
نویسنده
چکیده
[Purpose] The sit-to-stand (STS) maneuver is a component of everyday mobility. The purpose of this review was to summarize the number of daily STSs performed by adults with or without pathology. [Methods] Four bibliographic databases were searched followed by a consultation with experts and a search by hand to locate articles reporting daily STSs. Information on measurement procedures, tested populations, and daily STSs was extracted. Methodological quality was rated. [Results] Ten articles were identified. The mean number of daily STSs ranged from 33 to 71. The mean number was at least 45 for all groups except patients with congestive heart failure, residents of a hospital ward and one group of older adults. [Conclusion] Individuals performing fewer than 45 daily STSs may be experiencing a work deficit and benefit from additional intentional STS repetitions.
