The patient received verbal and tactile cues during sit-to-stands. The therapist broke down the movement by instructing the patient to: scoot to the edge of the bed, reposition both lower extremities, use the upper extremities to push off the seated surface, and employ the “nose over toes” technique to enhance early lift during the movement.This approach helps the patient understand and assess the requirements for successfully completing sit-to-stands.
