Background.
The weight-bearing (WB) and effort distributions during the five-repetition sit-to-stand test (5R-STS) were assessed in healthy and hemiparetic subjects and were compared to the distributions obtained for a single STS task (1-STS).
Methods.
Eighteen hemiparetic subjects and 12 controls were included.
The WB distribution and time were computed using the vertical ground reaction forces.
The knee muscles' effort distribution was quantified with the electromyographic (EMG) data of the STS transfers expressed relatively to the EMG values of maximal strength assessments.
Results.
In both groups, the time, WB, and effort distributions did not differ between repetitions of the 5R-STS test.
The WB and effort distributions of the first repetition were more asymmetrical than those for the 1-STS for the hemiparetic subjects only.
Conclusions.
Since no changes were found between repetitions, the 5R-STS test might not be demanding enough.
The hemiparetic subjects adopt different WB and effort distribution strategies according to the number of STSs to complete.
