Simple physical exercises

"1. The participant must stay out of the bed 3 hours. This pre-required level prevents the occurrence of acute postural mismatch which can occur when elderly patients are bedridden and too long increases the risk of falling.~2. The participant stands standing in static equilibrium to a chair holding the back of it for 2 minutes. Depending on the patient's abilities, the exercise will be done on both feet or one foot.~3. The participant performs a transfer activity of sitting to standing repeated 5 times (FTSS test). According to the patient's abilities, the exercise will be done with physical assistance or not."
