Abstract:The principal aim of this study was to analyze the effects of differences in hip abduction and external rotation angles on sit-to-stand (STS) movements.

Analysis parameters were the center of pressure, the ground reaction force, and the activities of fourteen muscles using surface electromyography. The center of pressure parameter revealed that standing with … Show more
