Biomechanical Analysis of Assisted Sit - to - Stand

چکیده
INTRODUCTION A significant number of non-institutionalized older adults have difficulty rising from a chair [1]. Although there exist several assistive devices to aid with sit to stand, there is a lack of research that compares and analyzes various modes of assisted sit to stand to characterize their relative effectiveness in terms of biomechanical metrics. This research advances our understanding of the biomechanics of different modes of assisted sit-to-stand through empirical quantification of four methods of assisted sit to stand.

The effect of dual task training on sit to stand postural control of elderly women with a history of falling
The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect of dual task training including balance sit-to-stand and cognitive exercises on postural control of sit to stand of elderly women with a history of falling. 15 elderly women were randomly divided into control (n=7) and experimental (n=8) groups. Participants implemented training protocol for four weeks in both experimental (balance ...
متن کاملBiomechanical Analysis of the Sit-to-stand Movement following Knee Replacement: a Cross-sectional Observational Study
The sit-to-stand [STS] movement is a functional task that generates large forces across the knee. Only a few studies have reported biomechanical variables during this movement in post knee replacement patients and none have compared these variables between unilateral and bilateral sub groups. The aim of this study was to provide a biomechanical characterisation of the STS movement post knee art...
متن کاملKinematic and electromyographic analyses of normal and device-assisted sit-to-stand transfers.
Mechanical sit-to-stand devices assist patient transfers and help protect against work-related injuries in rehabilitation environments. However, observational differences between patient's movements within devices compared to normal sit-to-stand transfers deter clinician use. This study compared kinematics and muscle demands during sit-to-stand transfers with no device (ND), and device-assisted...
متن کاملDifferences between grab rail position and orientation during the assisted sit-to-stand for able-bodied older adults.
The aim of this study was to compare the effects of grab rail position, orientation, and number of hands used on the kinetics of assisted sit-to-stand transfers. Participants were 12 able-bodied older adults between the ages of 69 and 88 years. While each one performed the sit-to-stand transfer, a motion analysis system with 9 cameras recording at 60 Hz tracked the 3-D trajectories of retrorefl...
متن کاملSit to stand in elderly fallers vs non-fallers: new insights from force platform and electromyography data.
BACKGROUND The sit-to-stand movement requires balance control and coordination between the trunk and lower limbs. For these reasons, it is commonly used in clinics for evaluating lower limb muscle function in the elderly. The aim of the present study was to point out re levant biomechanical and neurophysiological sit-to-stand parameters allowing comparison between elderly fallers and non-faller...
