The Evaluation of Vertical Pole Configuration and Location on Assisting the Sit-to-stand Movement in Older Adults with Mobility Limitations

Grab-bars and transfer poles are common sit-to-stand aids for older adults with mobility limitations. This study investigates differences in kinematics and kinetics in the lower limbs across different transfer pole configurations and positions. Configurations tested are a single pole, two poles and...
