Muscle activity and balance control during sit-to-stand across symmetric and asymmetric initial foot positions in healthy adults

Rising from a sit to a stand has biomechanical factors that are dependent on initial foot position. Little is known about the effect of initial foot position on leg muscle activation patterns during a sit-to-stand and balance maintenance of stance after a sit-to-stand. What are the effects of different symmetric and asymmetric initial foot positions on leg muscle activation patterns and balance during and after a sit-to-stand? Three symmetric...
