CHAIRS

Getting Up:

The stick should be near the arm of the chair. Lean forward and with 

the hands on the arm of the chair, push forward and stand up using 

the stick for support.

Sitting Down:

When returning to the chair, turn round, feel the chair behind the legs, 

place your hands on the chair arms, bend forward and lower yourself 

gently into the chair. The stick can be held or rested nearby.

Walk in a normal manner placing the stick on the ground at the same 

time as the affected leg.

Remember the stick should normally be held in the hand opposite the 

affected leg
