Summary

This review found insufficient evidence to conclude on interventions improving independent sit-to-stand ability post-stroke. However, moderate evidence suggests improvements in sit-to-stand time and symmetry for those already able to stand.

Area of Science:

  • Neurorehabilitation
  • Biomechanics
  • Functional Mobility

Background:

  • Sit-to-stand is a crucial functional task for independence and fall prevention.
  • Stroke survivors often experience difficulties with independent sit-to-stand.
  • Improving sit-to-stand ability is vital for post-stroke recovery.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review evidence on interventions enhancing sit-to-stand ability after stroke.
  • To assess effects of altered starting postures and rehabilitation programs.
  • To evaluate impact on sit-to-stand time, symmetry, forces, and falls.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic review of randomized controlled trials.
  • Searched multiple databases up to June 2013.
  • Included studies on posture modification and task-specific practice.

Main Results:

  • Insufficient evidence for improving independent sit-to-stand ability.
  • Moderate evidence shows improved sit-to-stand time and lateral symmetry.
  • Low-quality evidence for effects on falls and functional ability.

Conclusions:

  • No generalizable conclusions on independent sit-to-stand ability post-stroke.
  • Interventions benefit time and symmetry in those already able to stand.
  • Task-specific training shows promise in stroke rehabilitation.
