Sit-to-Stand Movement in Children: A Review

Abstract

The influence of determining factors on sit-to-stand (STS) movement in adults has been extensively described in the literature; however, there is a lack of information about such factors on children. Therefore, the purposes of the present study are to analyze the scientific publications about intrinsic and extrinsic factors influencing STS movement in children and to describe methodological procedures used in the studies under review. A bibliographical review was obtained from relevant database (1988-2009) using keywords, such as rising, chair, sit-to-stand, and children. In all, 109 articles were identified and 11 were selected. The literature indicates there is a lack of articles investigating disabilities other than cerebral palsy as well as extrinsic factors such as chair-type characteristics in typical and atypical children.

Dual‐task effects on postural sway during sit‐to‐stand movement in children with Down syndrome

“…The STS movement mainly involves body displacement in the sagittal plane (da Costa et al . ). Thus, its accomplishment demands body control and stability in the anterior‐posterior axis (Pavão et al .…”

“…We chose to investigate postural sway during STS movement considering the large amount of times this movement is performed in daily routine (da Costa et al . ), the great biomechanical demands involved with task accomplishment (Yoshioka et al . ) and its strong relationship with functional mobility (Begnoche et al .…”

Sex and age influence on postural sway during sit‐to‐stand movement in children and adolescents: Cross‐sectional study

“…We chose to investigate STS, since it involves dynamical postural control (Mourey et al., 2000) and is a transference task widely performed in daily routine (da Costa et al., 2010; dos Santos et al., 2019). STS requires great biomechanical demand (Pavão & Rocha, 2017) and complex levels of multisensory integration and neuromuscular control (dos Santos et al., 2013; Pavão & Rocha, 2017; Yoshioka et al., 2009.…”

Associação da aptidão fí­sica de idosos saudáveis com o desempenho na tarefa de levantar-se do solo

“…O ato de levantar-se do solo envolve um mecanismo de mudanças de segmentos corporais [10], por intermédio do controle do equilíbrio estático e dinâmico. Tal ação está relacionada com a capacidade do indivíduo manter seu centro de massa sobre uma determinada base de suporte, seja ela móvel ou imóvel.…”
