Record the number of times the patient stands in 30 seconds. This test measures how many times a patient can stand up from a seated position and sit back down in a chair within 30 seconds. On “go,” rise to a full standing position and then sit back down again.
If the patient must use his/her arms to stand, stop the test. Score is the amount of time it takes for an patient to transfer from a seated position to standing position and back to sitting five times. Adjustable lifting straps make it easy to stand from a fixed arm wheelchair.
