Effect of Handrails on Standing-up Movement: Analysis from the Moment of Lower Extremity

Ten healthy adult subjects performed standing-up movements from a chair with the aid of handrails of six different heights, and the moments of hip, knee, and ankle joints were measured. There was no significant difference in the peak moments of knee and ankle joints between the 6 handrails. The peak...

Summary:Ten healthy adult subjects performed standing-up movements from a chair with the aid of handrails of six different heights, and the moments of hip, knee, and ankle joints were measured. There was no significant difference in the peak moments of knee and ankle joints between the 6 handrails. The peak moment of hip joint indicated three patterns according to changes in height of handrails. This is considered to be reflected by different ways to use handrails.
