Yet another fantastic review.

To help my patient improve sit-to-stand functional movement, we incorporated band resistance to bias and load hip extension and glute activation. This targeted approach not only strengthens key muscles but also promotes stability, especially in individuals at risk of posterior balance loss.

Key points to focus on:

1. **Hip Strategy:** Engage the hips by driving through the heels, ensuring the glutes and hamstrings do the heavy lifting. This strengthens the posterior chain, crucial for stability.

2. **Ankle Strategy:** Maintain ankle stability to prevent backward falls. Focus on controlled movements, keeping the weight slightly forward and centered over the feet.

By combining these strategies with band resistance, my patient is building strength and improving balance, making everyday movements safer and more effective.
