Comparison of seat, waist, and arm sit-to-stand assistance modalities in elderly population. J Rehabil Res Dev. 2013;50(6):XX–XX. http://dx.doi.org/10.1682/JRRD.2011.12.0233 Slideshow Project DOI:10.1682/JRRD.2011.12.0233JSP Aim – Investigate mechanics of assisted sit-to-stand (STS) motion to better understand how load-sharing STS mechanisms may facilitate STS motions while still requiring activation of leg muscles. Relevance – STS motion is important for ambulatory adults’ independent function and daily activities. However, full dependence on mechanical STS assistance can lead to leg muscle atrophy.

Evaluated: – Each mode of rise base on subject questionnaire. – Key biomechanical metrics relating to stability, knee effort reduction, and rise trajectory.

Subjects preferred seat and bar assistance.

Further testing of this modality with clinical population is indicated.
