PROSTHET ORTHOT INT , 2005, vol. 29, n° 2, p. 139-151 Doc n°: 121310 Localisation : Documentation IRR Descripteurs : EB31 - AMPUTATION TRANSFEMORALE, NB - SPORT ET HANDICAP Standing up is an important and common daily activity. It is essential for independence and a prerequisite for walking. Many elderly and many subjects with impairments have problems with transition from sitting to standing. The aim of the present study was to determine whether there was any difference between the characteristics of standing up in trans-femoral amputees and healthy subjects. Five young trans-femoral amputees and five healthy subjects were included in the study. They were asked to stand up. The body motion was recorded using an Optotrak contactless optical system.
