Kinematics Simulation of Sit to Stand Based on SimMechanics

Abstract

Sit to stand is one of the essential physical tasks of normal daily function, it requires coordinated constructions of the muscle of the lower extremities and truck. Specifically, subjects with movement disorder have reported to experience difficulties in rising from a seated position. Based on the captured signals, the angle and angular velocity of the STS, this paper simulate the STS on SimMechanics and get a similar result with the force plate.
