Abstract
Sit-To-Stand (SitTS) training is often performed by patients who may require arm assistance to perform it successfully. This study examines the role of arms in performing the SitTS maneuver to better understand their contribution and clinical significance. This review synthesizes the reported outcome measures of arm-assisted SitTS exercise programs in people with physical impairments. Web of Science (WoS) and Scopus™ databases were searched for relevant studies up to May 2025. Inclusion and exclusion criteria were used to screen the titles and abstracts of articles identified using key search terms related to SitTS activity and arm support. Only articles that met the key terms were extracted and analyzed in this study. A total of 47 studies reported arm support measures during SitTS, either in clinical or biomechanical contexts. These studies highlighted various methods and tools used to assess the body’s state during the rising movement. Joint angle and SitTS duration are clinically applicable and more easily measured compared to seat, foot, and arm forces which require specialized instrumentation. Balancing clinical measures with detailed biomechanical assessments is important in enabling practitioners and researchers to evaluate and enhance SitTS interventions that involve arm assistance, ultimately improving rehabilitation outcomes.
