Sit to Stand Procedure- Therapeutic Training Exercise
1. Sit in a straight chair with your feet shoulder-width apart. Count to 4 as you SLOWLY rise up to a standing position. (If this is too difficult, start by using your hands for support. If you can't sit all the way down, or if you feel pain or discomfort, place a cushion on the chair or squat down only 4 or 5 inches)
2. Pause, SLOWLY lower yourself toward the chair as you bend your knees to the count of 4
3. Repeat 10 times. Rest for one minute. Complete a set of 10. Do this exercise 3 to 5 times a week. (If this is too difficult, start at a lower number and build up to 10)
