Abstract Sit-to-stand (STS) movements from low seat height are not easily executed by older
individuals. Although young individuals increase their lower limb muscle power (LLMP) …

Deep-squat movement is one of the most important activities for independent living.
Although a large range of motion of lower extremity joints in the sagittal plane is required for …

Purpose Sit-to-stand (STS) is a basic skill for maintaining a high-quality life. The purpose of
this study was to examine the effect of handrail height on the peak moment of the lower …

Background Rising from a sitting position, or “sit-to-stand”(STS), is one of the basic activities
in daily life. Therefore, studying the kinematics and kinetics of STS could help optimize STS …

Handrail type and seat height both significantly influence sit-to-stand (STS) movement.
However, research on the associations between handrail type, seat height, and their …

Objective To characterize the circumstances of falls during sit-to-stand transfers in long-term
care (LTC), including the frequency, direction, stepping and grasping responses, and injury …

Grab bars facilitate bathing and reduce the risk of falls during bathing. Suction cup
handholds and rim-mounted tub rails are an alternative to grab bars. The objective of this …

Different handrail heights and initial foot angles are crucial to the performance of the STS
movement. However, to the best of our knowledge, the effects of changing the toe orientation …

Background Exploring the use of minimum marker sets is important for balancing the
technical quality of motion capture with challenging data collection environments and …

Handrail height and knee joint support both significantly influence sit-to-stand (STS)
movement. However, research on the associations between handrail height, knee joint …
