The purpose of this study were to describe the movement pattern used to rise from supine to erect stance and to evaluate the influence gender might have on the movement patterns used for rising. Fifty males and fifty-three females, mean 14 years of age, performed the rising task while being videotaped. Movement patterns were classified using categorical descriptions of the action of three body regions; the upper extremities, lower extremities, and head-trunk region. The most common pattern of males and females were symmetrical push(upper extremity), symmetrical(head-trunk) and symmetrical squat(lower extremity). In the upper extremity component, a symmetrical reach to push pattern was new category. Eighteen of males and twenty-one of females different movement pattern combinations were observed. Results indicate physical therapists should consider the patient’’s age and gender.
