Sit-to-walk (STW) is a common functional and transitional task which challenges an individual's postural control systems. As aging is associated with an increased risk of falls during transitional movements, we biomechanically investigated the STW movement task in 12 healthy Young and 12 healthy elderly individuals. Performance was evaluated utilizing motion analysis and two force plates. The principal finding of this study was the impaired performance of the healthy older adults The older adults generated significantly less momentum prior to rising (p = 0.011) and further delayed (p
