In this video, Nathan from Skills and Wellness will guide you through safe techniques for getting up from a chair. Whether you’re an older adult, recovering from an injury, or you have a stroke, Parkinson's disease, dementia or simply want to maintain better balance, these steps will help you stand up confidently.
🌟 Steps to Safely Rise From a Seated Position:
1. Position Yourself:
* Move your bottom to the edge of the chair.
* Place both feet firmly and flat on the floor.
* If available, use the armrests for support. If not, place your hands on the edge of the seat.
2. Lean Forward:
* Shift your weight forward by leaning slightly.
* Imagine your nose over your toes-this helps move your center of gravity forward.
3. Push Up Gradually:
* Push down through your arms as you unload your weight off the chair.
* Straighten your legs gradually as you rise.
4. Stand Up Straight:
* Let go of the chair and stand up nice and straight.
🚨 Safety Tip:
* Never grasp unsteady objects (like a quad cane or walker) to pull up-they could tip over.
💪 Improving Strength and Balance:
* Regular practice of sit-to-stand exercises can enhance your ability to stand safely.
* Work on strengthening your hip muscles, knee extensors, and glutes.
* Strong legs and hips reduce the risk of falls and injuries.
