“…This result suggests that not only the movement velocity of the lower limbs, but also the velocity of other regions of the body, has a strong association with mobility. This might be in line with our finding that the ability to carry out quick lateral trunk movements in a seated position reflects their mobility …”

“…This might be in line with our finding that the ability to carry out quick lateral trunk movements in a seated position reflects their mobility. 21 Many studies have used grip strength as an indicator of total body strength. 22,23 The associations between the muscle power of the upper and lower limbs are strong, and the magnitude of the association is greater for muscle power as compared with strength.…”

“…6 Movement velocity of the trunk was measured using one part of the Seated Side Tapping Test, as previously described. 7 Briefly, the test requires subjects to move their bodies to the left and right 10 times in turn as quickly as possible while in a seated position; the time required between the first and second tapping was measured using a touch sensor.…”

To the Editor: Falls are a major public health problem for older adults and society. There are many risk factors for falls in older adults, such as age, gait, balance, muscle strength, and visual acuity. 1 Above all, gait speed is a good predictor of falls. 2 Because movement velocity of lower limbs is a strong predictor of gait speed, 3,4 it may be useful as a predictor of falls. Movement velocity was measured to determine whether it has an influence on falls in healthy older adults. To clarify the characteristics of movement velocity itself, the velocity of the upper limbs and trunk was also measured. METHODS Community-dwelling older adults (N = 112; aged 74.1 AE 6.0, 28 male, 84 female) participated in this study. Participants were recruited through local senior centers. Each participant signed a written informed consent form, and the human ethics committee of Osaka Prefecture University approved this study. a Student t-test. b Chi-square test. c Mann-Whitney U test.

“…The aim of this study was to alleviate the abnormal kinematic pattern of the upper body during the STS movement, which was not the focus of previous studies6, 8 ) . For this purpose, trunk-targeted exercises that emphasized on speed18, 19 ) were chosen so that participants with CP could perform them safely in a seated position20, 21 ) to improve trunk control. Therefore, QSTE could facilitate the STS movement by improving trunk control.…”

“…However, this exercise was not always safe enough as the participants performed it in a standing position. To reduce this risk, Iwata et al suggested that fast exercise should be used with the patient in a more stable position20, 21 ) . They used fast trunk movements to assess the mobility of frail, elderly people while they sat on a chair.…”

[Purpose] This pilot study examined the immediate effects of quick-seated trunk exercise on sit-to-stand movement in children with cerebral palsy. [Subjects and Methods] Five children with spastic cerebral palsy (hemiplegia, 3; diplegia, 2; age 6–17 years) performed five sessions of natural-seated trunk exercise at a self-selected speed (control). Following a 50-min rest period, five sessions of the quick-seated trunk exercise were conducted (experimental intervention) for each child. Each seated trunk exercise included 10 repetitions in the anterior-posterior and lateral directions. Sit-to-stand was assessed before and after each intervention using a motion analysis system. The total sit-to-stand task duration and sagittal, angular movements of the trunk, hip, knee, and ankle were calculated. [Results] There was a significant difference in the total duration of the sit-to-stand movement before and after natural-seated trunk exercise (2.40 ± 0.67 s vs. 2.24 ± 0.44 s) as well as quick seated trunk exercise (2.41 ± 0.54 s vs. 2.06 ± 0.45 s). However, the sit-to-stand duration increased after natural-seated trunk exercise in one participant while that after quick-seated trunk exercise decreased in all participants. [Conclusion] Performing a trunk exercise in a seated position resulted in immediate improvement of the temporal sit-to-stand parameters in children with spastic cerebral palsy.
