The patient received verbal and tactile cues during sit-to-stand exercises. They were instructed to scoot to the edge of the bed, reposition both lower extremities, use their 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. What skill is the therapist utilizing to improve the patients rehab outcome during sit to stands?
