We take it for granted when we’re young but the ability to stand up from the floor becomes progressively more difficult as we get older. The age-related impaired performance with floor-to-stand transitions is particularly troublesome following a fall, as nearly 50% of people over the age of 70 who fall are unable to get up on their own. What is surprising is that a significant percentage of the people who fall are not injured, they just can’t get up by themselves. For people who live alone, this can have disastrous consequences. Remaining on the floor for an extended length of time can result in dehydration, pressure sores, delirium, rhabdomyolysis, and ultimately renal failure.
This video reviews a side-sit technique that is a modification of a popular DNS core exercise. DNS refers to Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization Approach, which was created by the Czech researcher Pavel Kolar. The side-sit techniques have the added benefit of requiring smaller ranges of hip and knee flexion to complete, making it the preferred technique for people with knee and hip arthritis. Lastly, because the side-sit pivot technique requires less head motion than the other techniques, it is less likely to cause vertigo, which is surprisingly common during floor-to-stand transitions.

About:
HumanLocomotion.com specializes in products and information for athletes, clinicians and our aging population. In 2011, Dr. Tom Michaud published a textbook entitled Human Locomotion that focused on examination, assessment, treatment and prevention of gait-related injuries. Dr. Michaud's textbook has sold over 15,000 copies and has been translated into four languages.
Throughout his years in practice, Dr. Michaud has treated thousands of athletes and over time he's developed several products for exercise and rehab that are available on HumanLocomotion.com. The most popular product, the ToePro, is designed to strengthen the toes and muscles of the foot and ankle, and is an important tool for strengthening the toes (toe strength is the most important thing for balance as you age). Dr. Michaud's articles and videos feature topics that focus on rehabbing injuries such as plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinopathy, and peripheral neuropathy, and most recently maintaining balance, agility and strength for fall prevention.
