Non English speaking individuals due to lack of interpretation resources.
  • Center of pressure under their feetBaseline

    HR Pressure mat - Symmetry under the feet will be measured using a 61.26 X 58.72 cm pedobarograph with a 48.8 X 44.7 cm active sensing area during the sit to stand transition. The mat has 3.9 sensors/cm2 with a 185 Hz scanning rate. The mat will be calibrated prior to the start of the study.

  • Center of pressure under their feetAcquisition (one 1 hour training)

    HR Pressure mat - Symmetry under the feet will be measured using a 61.26 X 58.72 cm pedobarograph with a 48.8 X 44.7 cm active sensing area during the sit to stand transition. The mat has 3.9 sensors/cm2 with a 185 Hz scanning rate. The mat will be calibrated prior to the start of the study.

  • Center of pressure under their feetImmediate Post (5 minutes after acquisition training)

  • Trunk alignmentBaseline

    IMU sensors -One Delsys inertial measurement units (IMUs) will be placed on the T1 spinous process to capture vertical trunk alignment throughout sit to stand.

  • Trunk alignmentAcquisition (one 1 hour training)

    IMU sensors -One Delsys inertial measurement units (IMUs) will be placed on the T1 spinous process to capture vertical trunk alignment throughout sit to stand.

  • Trunk alignmentImmediate Post (5 minutes after acquisition training)

    IMU sensors -One Delsys inertial measurement units (IMUs) will be placed on the T1 spinous process to capture vertical trunk alignment throughout sit to stand.

  • Trunk alignmentLong term (one hour after training)

    IMU sensors -One Delsys inertial measurement units (IMUs) will be placed on the T1 spinous process to capture vertical trunk alignment throughout sit to stand.

  • Post Manipulation QuestionnaireLong term (after all measures completed 1 hour after training)

    To establish whether participants were thinking about what they were instructed, all individuals were given a post manipulation questionnaire after the 1-hour post training retention testing for each condition. Participants were asked to rate how much they were thinking about "a target that is outside of your body," "how you move your body (e.g. shoulders, hips, trunk)," and about "something else." They responded on a Likert scale with 5 representing very much so and 1 to represent not at all.
