Remote Application of the Sit-to-Stand Test: A Scoping Review

The sit-to-stand (STS) test is widely used to assess functional capacity and lower limb strength in different populations. With the advancement of telerehabilitation as a complementary or substitute modality to in-person rehabilitation, especially after the COVID-19 pandemic, the remote application of functional tests has become increasingly common. However, there are still gaps in the literature regarding the protocols used, the feasibility, safety, and results of using the STS in telerehabilitation contexts. In this scenario, a scoping review is justified to map existing evidence, identify trends, barriers, and opportunities, and guide both clinical practice and future research on the subject.
