Postural transitions i.e. the way which we stand up or sit down are complex motor tasks that can be used to measure physical function. Currently these transitions, which can be classified as sit-to-stand (SiSt) or stand-to-sit (StSi),
Measuring walking in daily life: the impact of commercial wearables
