What the research found
IntroductionSarcopenia‐related lower‐limb functional impairment is commonly assessed using five‐times sit‐to‐stand (5STS) completion time, which provides limited information about how performance differs within the task. This study examined two questions: the concurrent agreement of OpenCap‐derived lower‐limb kinematics with Vicon during repeated 5STS, and whether OpenCap‐derived kinematic and temporal measures disti
Evidence level: Human study. A study in people, but an association isn't proof of cause.
