Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the ankle-knee-hip interaction during sit-to-walk (STW) movement and clinical
functional abilities of the lower limbs in Parkinson's patients.
Methods: Twenty male patients, ages ranged from 55 to 70 years, stage ΙΙ and ΙΙΙ according to modified Hoehn and Yahr
classification of disabilities and ten male healthy elderly subjects, ages ranged from 55 to 70 years, participated in this study. All
subjects were assessed for clinical functional abilities of the lower limbs, ground reaction force (GRF) and spatiotemporal data
and range of motion (ROM) of hip, knee and ankle joints during STW movement.
Results: The results showed very significant differences in the GRF among the normal subjects and Parkinson's patients during
STW movement. There were significant differences in hip, knee and ankle joints ROM during STW. There were significant
differences in spatiotemporal findings during STWmovement. The Parkinson's disease patients did not merge the two tasks of
STWwhile the elderly subjects merged it. There was impairment in clinical functional abilities of the lower limbs in Parkinson's
patients.
Conclusion: A continuum of STW performance and clinical functional abilities whereby the healthy elderly people performed
the task more efficiently than Parkinson's patients.
