The sit-to-stand test (also called chair stand test) measures the amount of time needed for a patient to rise five times from a seated position.
It is an assessment measure for strength of leg muscles.1
During the test, the participant folds their arms across their chest and attempts to stand up from a chair. HCPs then time how long it takes to perform five rises from the chair to an upright position without the use of the arms. A time of over 15 seconds for five rises indicates lower muscle strength.1
