Abstract
Sitting down from standing is an everyday task with an inherent risk of falling and fundamentally different from the widely researched sit-to-stand movement [1]. Research points to poor control during this movement in stroke populations, with higher peak downward accelerations and longer overall movement durations, compared with controls [2,3]. Controlling the body's downward momentum requires muscle activity to match external gravitational moments. Understanding this in an acute stroke population and how it impacts on movement control could inform rehabilitation.
