Abstract		The sit-to-stand transfer of paraplegic subjects using functional electrical stimulation of knee extensors and arm support is analyzed. Kinetic and kinematic parameters were recorded during several chair-rise trials performed in a group of completely paralyzed subjects who were trained FES users. Based on measuring results, characteristic phases and events were defined in the chair-rise maneuver of paraplegic subjects. Possible applications of artificial or natural foot sole pressure sensing for surveying and control of the paraplegic sit-to-stand transfer are discussed.
