control during STS, but the specifics are not yet reflected in clinical assessments such as for instance the role of the arms and the influence of different foot positions. There seems to be a call for clinical tools capturing determinants and process characteristics of the STS transfer for a more comprehensive evaluation in rehabilitation. Implications:The viewon the STSmovement is currently changing in favour of the transfer being recognized as a complex skill with a multitude of factors influencing distinct sub phases. Until now, most clinical STS assessment instruments offer only a single value reflecting the end result of the motor task. A deeper understanding of critical events and underlying controlmechanisms during STSobtained from research is crucial for assessment and treatment of patientswith impaired STS ability. Determinants related to the individual, the chair and movement strategies need to be documented and taken into consideration by the clinician. The use of standardized visual observation combined with information from upcoming sensor-basedmovement analysis systems could offer new possibilities in the clinic.
