Are sit-to-walk and sit-to-stand-and-walk task dynamics maintained during rising at an elevated seat-height independent of lead-limb in healthy individuals?
Reduction in vGRFs and velocity during rising at 120%KH is consistent with reduced effort in young healthy individuals and is likely therefore to be an appropriate seat-height for patients. Lead-limb had no effect upon STSW or STW parameters suggesting that normative data independent of lead-limb can be utilised to monitor motor rehabilitation should differences be observed in patients. STSW should be considered an independent movement transition.
Non-complicated pressure ulcers in postsurgery patients do not significantly increase the length of total hospital stay.
