Sit-to-stand as home exercise for mobility-limited adults over 80 years of age GrandStand SystemTM may keep you standing?

Abstract

In a highly variable population of older adults with mobility limitations, low-intensity functional home exercise of repeated sit-to-stands using the GrandStand System improved Berg Balance Scale score while low-intensity progressive resistance training did not. While statistically significant, the improvement in Berg Balance Scale score was modest raising the issue of what extent of change in score is clinically significant in this population.
