Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Joint movement smoothness, estimated through a motion tracking camera in combination with a simplified human biomechanical model[Immediately after pointing a target five times (primary endpoint)];EMG rectified signal will be used to assess muscular activity of three muscles: biceps, deltoid and trapezius[Immediately after pointing a target five times (primary endpoint)]

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Energy expenditure to perform the sit-to-stand task, estimated through a motion tracking camera in combination with a simplified human biomechanical model[Immediately after pointing a target five times ];Mean angular variables of human joints (position, velocity and acceleration), estimated through a motion tracking camera in combination with a simplified human biomechanical model [Immediately after pointing a target five times ];Mean cartesian variables of human joints (position, velocity and acceleration), estimated through a motion tracking camera in combination with a simplified human biomechanical model[Immediately after pointing a target five times];Mean rotational forces (torques) at human joints, estimated through a motion tracking camera in combination with a simplified human biomechanical model [Immediately after pointing a target five times ]
