Okay. So Di, we are going to be helping you to get out of your chair shortly. So prior to that, we have been through the whole process and I have got your consent and we are looking at the score that Di has actually achieved under the FIM, the Functional Independence Measure. So someone in this situation, an independent sit to stand will be a score between five and four. And within that, it is more just some timing, getting everything ready and then some prompting to help with the person. Because it is independence, Di will do a lot of this for herself and I will be just there to help and prompt and show some support while she is doing it. Now, I haven't seen Di for a while. So I have looked at the care plan. I can see that Di has not changed anything dramatically within that. Her score is still the same. But I still want to do an ability test with her, just to ensure that she has got the ability today to be able to help herself to stand independently, because we can then adapt and change if we need to. So Di, I am just going to ask you to do a couple of things for me, yeah? So I am just going to stand in front of you. And what I would like you to do is put your hands up in front of you and I would like you to now just push your hands up for me, up against my hand, so I'll feel a bit of resistance. That is fantastic. Now, if I am going to help, put my hands underneath, can you just bring your hands down for me? Push down, push down. That is fantastic. Thank you for doing that, Di. Now, next thing you will do, I am just going to just check your legs, okay, just to make sure, because when you stand up, I do not want you to wobble or do anything else, all right? So I am just going to place my hand on top of your knee. Can you just lift your leg off the floor for me slightly? Fantastic, Di. Well done. Same thing on the other leg, can you just lift that leg up for me? That is fantastic, Di. Brilliant. What I do need you to do for me though, I do need you to come forward in the chair. So if you can do a little shuffle for me to bring yourself to the front of the chair, that would be fantastic. Well done. Thank you, Di. I appreciate it. Okay. So we are going to be standing shortly, all right? So which is your dominant leg, Di? Are you right or left-handed? Right. So it might be you want to put your right leg slightly back a little bit, okay? You've got the arms of the chair to be able to push off on to help you up as well. I will be here if you need me just to steady you if you do need that, okay? All right. So in our process, we will do a ready, steady and then we will stand. So it is rocking, then to stand. Okay? Are we ready? Mm-hmm. So ready, steady and stand. Fantastic. That is great, Di. And then we are going to go off to where we need to go.
Guidance on Assisting Individuals with Sit-to-Stand Transitions
This guide provides step-by-step instructions for assisting someone, like Di, to transition from sitting to standing, ensuring safety and independence.
Preparing for Assistance
Before assisting, it is important to:
- Obtain consent and assess the individual's FIM (Functional Independence Measure) score.
- Review the care plan for any changes in the individual's condition.
Assessment of Independent Sit-to-Stand Ability
Conducting an ability test involves:
- Checking upper body strength by pushing against resistance.
- Evaluating leg strength and stability.
- Ensuring the individual is positioned correctly in the chair.
Executing the Sit-to-Stand Transition
Steps for safely assisting with the transition:
- Identify the individual's dominant leg for positioning.
- Use the chair arms for support during the lift.
- Employ a 'ready, steady, stand' approach with a rocking motion.
Support and Steadiness During Transition
Provide support by:
- Being present to steady the individual if needed.
- Guiding the movement without forcing it, allowing for independence.
Post-Transition Support
Once standing, ensure the individual is stable and ready to proceed to their destination.
