Sit to Stand with Frame

• • first give a demonstration so pts can learn
  • check if frame has been set up to pts height
  • pts must be in suitable footwear and environment must be safe
  • get pts to shuffle to the edge/front of the chair
  • must sit to stand from the chair, using the chair, pushing down on it to stand up
  • only once theyve stood up should they hold onto the frame - IMPORTANT!!!!
  • to sit down make sure pts can feel the bed/chair behind them and at that point reach back and sit down
