Analysis of moment using different type of hand grips of parallel bars-one side support in sit-to-stand motion

Introduction Movement of body in sit-to-stand (STS) is an important study subject because it is indispensable in standing up from chair, bed and toilet and to walk during everyday activity, throughout one's life. Generally, we use parallel bars when we start exercises of STS in Rehabilitation. Hand gripes on parallel bars are either round type (Round) or flat type (Flat). Some studies have been carried out on movement in STS using both parallel bars. However, only a few studies have been carried out using one sided support which is often observed in case of hemi paralysis for patients with cerebrovascular accidents (CVA). The purpose of this study is to investigate the difference of type of hand grips in STS and to recommend a proper choice in Rehabilitation.
