Some Tips For Sitting And Standingion

STANDING UP:

Move to the edge of your chair; push up using the arms of your chair to facilitate standing.

SITTING DOWN:

Initially, make sure you can feel the back of the chair against the back of your legs. Then reach back for the arms of the chair. Without leaning forward, gently lower yourself into your chair, taking the weight evenly through your arms. You may find it more comfortable to slide your operated leg forwards as you sit down.
