“…Thus, it appears that good vision provides support for safely and quickly undertaking the chair stand test (Lord et al 2002). In this study an independent association between functional vision and chair stand test performance was not found.…”

“…The sit-to-stand performance is though influenced by visual function, particularly contrast sensitivity, but there are several other factors associated with the test time, the most important being quadriceps strength (Lord et al 2002). Consequently, in the chair stand test older adults may to some extend better compensate their visual limitations than in the other tests used here.…”

“…The impact of physiotherapy on functionality was shown by a faster STSTS performance in the physiotherapy group, already 8 weeks after surgery, and a trend toward a lower ODI-2 score after 1 year. The improvement in proprioceptive use might have determined the faster STSTS performance since this latter task requires postural control (Lord et al, 2002). Furthermore, the association between proprioceptive use and STSTS performance was already observed in non-specific LBP patients (Claeys et al, 2012).…”

“…An essential daily functional activity, which necessitates postural control (Lord et al, 2002), is the sit-to-stand-to-sit (STSTS) task (Dall and Kerr, 2010). In LBP patients, the STSTS task is more energy demanding (Shum et al, 2009) and associated with altered movement patterns (Jacobs et al, 2011a).…”

Background: Individuals with non-specific low back pain show decreased reliance on lumbosacral proprioceptive signals and slower sit-to-stand-to-sit performance. However, little is known in patients after lumbar microdiscectomy. Methods: Patients were randomly assigned into transmuscular (n = 12) or paramedian lumbar surgery (n = 13). After surgery, the same patients were randomly assigned into individualized active physiotherapy starting 2 weeks after surgery (n = 12) or usual care (n = 13). Primary outcomes were center of pressure displacement during ankle and back muscles vibration (to evaluate proprioceptive use), and the duration of five sit-to-stand-to-sit movements, evaluated at 2 (baseline), 8 and 24 weeks after surgery. Findings: Two weeks after surgery, all patients showed smaller responses to back compared to ankle muscles vibration (P b 0.05). Patients that underwent a transmuscular surgical procedure and patients that received physiotherapy switched to larger responses to back muscles vibration at 24 weeks, compared to 2 weeks after surgery (P b 0.005), although not seen in the paramedian group and usual care group (P N 0.05). Already 8 weeks after surgery, the physiotherapy group needed significantly less time to perform five sit-to-stand-to-sit movements compared to the usual care group (P b 0.05). Interpretation: Shortly after lumbar microdiscectomy, patients favor reliance on ankle proprioceptive signals over lumbosacral proprioceptive reliance to maintain posture, which resembles the behavior of patients with non-specific low back pain. However, early active physiotherapy after lumbar microdiscectomy facilitated higher reliance on lumbosacral proprioceptive signals and early improvement of sit-to-stand-to-sit performance. Transmuscular lumbar surgery favoured recovery of lumbosacral proprioception 6 months after surgery. Clinical Trial Number: NCT01505595

“…Performance of the sit-to-stance transfer requires the ability to maintain balance while producing enough muscle force to raise the body's centre of mass from a seated to a standing position (e.g., Schenkman et al 1996;Lord et al 2002). Studies of rising from a chair have demonstrated age eVects on the sit-tostance performance (e.g., Pai and Rogers 1990), and an association of task performance with muscle force in the leg extensors (e.g., Ploutz-Snyder et al 2002).…”

Mobility assessment in older people: new possibilities and challenges

A major challenge for researchers and clinicians who address health issues in the ageing population is to monitor functioning, and to timely initiate interventions that aim to prevent loss of functional abilities and to improve the quality of life of older people. With the progress of technologies in the last decades, methods have become available that use body Wxed sensors (BFS) to measure aspects of human performance under real-life conditions. These methods are based on the use of miniaturised and integrated sensors in combination with lightweight, small measuring devices that both can be carried on the body without interfering with normal behaviour. This paper addresses the potential relevance of new technology for monitoring motor function in older people, thereby speciWcally focusing on mobility assessment. After a short introduction with background information about BFS based technology, this paper identiWes areas of particular relevance, and discusses the application of ambulatory techniques for long-term monitoring of daily physical activity, fall detectors, fall risk evaluation, and assessment of motor performance such as gait and balance control. Examples are given how these techniques can become clinically relevant, particularly in the context of fall interventions for older people.

Sit-to-Stand Performance Depends on Sensation, Speed, Balance, and Psychological Status in Addition to Strength in Older People

Abstract: The findings indicate that, in community-dwelling older people, STS performance is influenced by multiple physiological and psychological processes and represents a particular transfer skill, rather than a proxy measure of lower limb strength.
