Today Luis is going to demonstrate the 30 second chair stand test! Read below for more info on this assessment! ⬇️
The 30 second chair stand test is one of the most telling strength screens we use in PT. It measures how many times you can stand up and sit down from a standard chair in 30 seconds — and gives us a quick snapshot of lower body strength + functional endurance.
Why does it matter? Because this exact movement shows up in real life every single day. Getting out of the car. The couch. The toilet. The dining chair. Independence + strength comes down to these basics.
So if you’ve never had this screened — ask your PT. Lower body strength is protective, preventative, and keeps you moving well as you age.
