Objective-To quantify the limits of stability during a leaning/reaching task and determine 1) test-retest reliability and 2) effect of movement direction and foot support.
Design-Test-retest reliability design.Background-Seated reaching and leaning are used in rehabilitation programs to assess and train sitting balance and motor function. Continuous (as opposed to ordinal), multidirectional measures of seated postural stability have not been previously presented.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
