Chair stand test

downin humans1

1 study
  1. Physical job demands impair chair stand test in humans (β -0.012, 95% CI -0.020, -0.004).

    “Greater use of force and repetitive movements were associated with faster decline in chair stand performance (β -0.012, 95% CI -0.020, -0.004”

  1. Physical job demands impair gait speed in humans (β -0.012, 95% CI -0.021, -0.004).

    “For men, faster decline in gait speed was observed when comparing higher and lower use of force at baseline (β -0.012, 95% CI -0.021, -0.004).”
