Table 5.

Sit-to-stand and stand-to-sit deviations, user instructions, and prosthesis parameter adjustments.

Mode	Deviation	User instruction	Prosthesis setting
Stand to sit	Unable to initiate sitting	Cue for active hip flexion and equal weight bearing between limbs for increased load onto the prosthesis	Decrease axial load threshold
	Inadequate support during sitting	N/A	Increase or decrease knee damping to provide more or less support, respectively
Sit to stand	Unable to initiate standing	Cue to increase forward trunk position and load onto the prosthesis	Decrease axial load threshold to initiate knee extension power
	Inadequate support or power during standing	Cue for equal weight bearing between limbs for increased load onto the prosthesis	Increase stance phase knee stiffness for improved support and power into knee extension
