HumanTrak Test Protocol – Sit to Stand – 30-second

 Equipment required: A sturdy chair or similar.

Starting position

This test requires a stationary period before the movement commences. Remain still to allow the HumanTrak system to calibrate, following on-screen prompts before commencing the test.

• Move so that the tracking circle is in the center of the positioning circle.
• Sit upright on a sturdy chair with a straight back, feet flat on the floor and shoulder-width apart
• Cross arms over the chest.

Instructions

• Press the 'Start test' button to start the timer counting down.
• Stand up fully and then return to the seated position in a controlled manner. Keep the chest upright and avoid using the hands or arms.
• Continue performing repetitions for the full 30-second duration – after which the test automatically ends.

Repetitions

• Reps are automatically detected and displayed in the right side panel during a test.
• A rep is detected each time the individual completes a full stand and returns to a seated position.
• The speed of repetitions is self-selected, with the goal of completing as many controlled repetitions as possible within the allotted time.
• If a repetition is not detected, ensure full hip and knee extension during standing, and full contact with the chair when seated.
