Relevance – STS motion is important for ambulatory adults’ independent function and daily activities. However, full dependence on mechanical STS assistance can lead to leg muscle atrophy.

Evaluated: – Each mode of rise base on subject questionnaire. – Key biomechanical metrics relating to stability, knee effort reduction, and rise trajectory.

Subjects preferred seat and bar assistance.

Further testing of this modality with clinical population is indicated.
