Kinematic Analysis of the Movement of Standing Up from and Sitting Down on a Chair

Abstract

Standing up from and sitting down on a chair is one of most important movements for daily living. The decrease of these activities complicated with aging or brain disease is an important issue. TKA has a beneficial effect on knee function. TKA has been designed to restore the knee to a performance level close to that of a normal knee. During standing up from and sitting down on a chair, the motion patterns are different from normal knee motions. However, Post-TKA knee joint stability between the minimum and shallow knee flexion was good
