Abstract
The sit-to-stand and stand-to-sit movements of 10 healthy women (mean age 52.4 years) were subjected to a descriptive analysis that yielded a definition of phases, determination of the peak angles reached, maximum angular velocity during each movement, and the sequencing of key events. While subjects showed little intrasubject variability, intersubject variability was evident. Subjects differed in the joint angles and angular velocity recorded, but the sequence of flexion/extension and rotation events were unchanged. Changes in direction of flexion/extension and rotation tended to occur very close in time, if not at the same time.
