While this can be completely normal, especially as we age, difficulty standing without using the arms may sometimes be a sign that your leg, hip, or core muscles could use more attention. 🪑🦵 In this video, we explore what your ability to stand up from a chair can tell you about lower-body strength, balance, mobility, and functional fitness. We’ll discuss why movements like getting out of a chair are commonly used when evaluating physical function and why changes in your ability to perform everyday movements are worth paying attention to. We’ll also look at factors that can make standing more difficult, including muscle weakness, joint discomfort, reduced balance, limited mobility, and deconditioning. Understanding these factors can help you recognize when it may be useful to discuss your mobility with a healthcare professional. 🔎 Watch until the end to learn what your chair-rise ability may reveal about your physical function and simple ways to think about maintaining strength and independence as you get older. ⚠️ This video is for educational and informational purposes only and is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
