Sit to stand from perched sitting ('ADL' Sit to stand transfer, from high surface)

Sit upright on a stool so that your hips are higher than your knees.
Your legs should be hip width apart.
Step your feet backwards, so they are directly under your knees.
Fold your arms so that they are not used to push yourself up.
Lean your body forwards, and push through your legs to stand up straight.
Ensure you fully straighten your hips once you are standing.
