Hi,
I am a university student who has an assignment on the functional
activity of moving from a sitting position in a chair without
armrests to a standing position. I have searched a number of
journals, many of which contain extensive information. The problem
lies in the fact that I have little understanding and experience in
this area, and most of the journals I have read are for professors,
post-graduate students etc. If anyone can offer information on the
following topics (in basic terminology), it would be greatly
apreciated:
I am required to understand the movement in terms of levers, moment
arms and kinetic chains. Friction needs to be kept in mind, and I
need to understand the biomechanical differences between transferring
out of a chair of 45cm vs a chair of 25cm for a person who is 180cm
tall.

Thankyou for your time
