2 SIT2STAND TRAINER
Therapists should have adequate clinical knowledge of proximal and distal key points of
control on patients’ bodies to facilitate sit-to-stand exercises. Based on this knowledge,
therapists can use these handling techniques to teach the patient the appropriate steps
in the sit-to-stand sequence. The therapist should engage the patient in a variety of
practice and graded training sessions to teach this skill.
The Sit2Stand device is built to exercise and strengthen a patient through normal sit-to-
stand kinematics. In particular, it is designed to get the patient’s center of mass over his
or her feet, a key component in the early phases of the sit-to-stand motion. It also
relieves the therapist of the physical demands of manual facilitation, allowing them to
focus on other physiological responses, such as blood pressure. The therapist can also
observe and assess isolated muscle and joint activity in conjunction with behavioral
responses of the patient.
