Abstract:
Sit-to-stand (STS) transitions are one of the most common activities of daily life and good STS performance is an important factor in maintaining functional independence. Usually, STS assessments is based on laboratory measurements, such as the five-times STS test. However, laboratory measured capacity should not be equated to functioning in free-living environment when measuring older adults without mobility limitations. This session demonstrates the use of thigh-worn accelerometers to detect and quantify sit-to-stand (STS) transitions in free living environment. The relationship between sit-to-stand performance in free-living environment and laboratory-based lower-extremity capacity will be examined.
