Sensitivity of sensor-based sit-to-stand peak power to the effects of training leg strength, leg power and balance in older adults

Highlights • We contribute to the development of sensor-based mobility assessment in elderly. • We investigate sensitivity to change of sensor-based STS measures in elderly. • We also examine sensitivity to change of standard clinical measures in elderly. • Sensor STS measures are more sensitive to...

Description
Summary:Highlights • We contribute to the development of sensor-based mobility assessment in elderly. • We investigate sensitivity to change of sensor-based STS measures in elderly. • We also examine sensitivity to change of standard clinical measures in elderly. • Sensor STS measures are more sensitive to changes than standard clinical measures. • Sensor-based STS measures can be useful for monitoring mobility.
