Kinematic and electromyographic analyses of normal and device-assisted sit-to-stand transfers

Highlights ► Kinematics and muscle demands of sit-to-stand transfers without a device (ND) and device-assisted (DA) were compared. ► Mechanical DA movements differed from normal ND sit-to-stand patterns. ► During DA transfers, verbally encouraging best effort (DA-BE) elevated muscle activity. ► DA-B...

Description
Summary:Highlights ► Kinematics and muscle demands of sit-to-stand transfers without a device (ND) and device-assisted (DA) were compared. ► Mechanical DA movements differed from normal ND sit-to-stand patterns. ► During DA transfers, verbally encouraging best effort (DA-BE) elevated muscle activity. ► DA-BE hip, knee, and ankle motion profiles more closely simulated normal ND than DA transfers without effort (DA-NE). ► DA-BE trunk and pelvis motion profiles were less similar to normal than DA-NE.
