How to Get Up Off The Floor with a "Reach and Roll"

[@jenniferknight5343]

One of the problems with getting old is we only get to do it once - no practice - so it comes as a shock to discover you are no longer able to do things you have taken for granted. I am grateful for the advice such as yours and other trainers on Ytube. I am working up a simple regimen and keeping a daily diary to keep me motivated and on track. Thank you

[@tiagoleandro4371]

Thank you for the tips im paralised from the lert side for the time being its scary to sit on the floor as cant stand up too easily after 3 brain surgeries, fighting cancer for 5 yars now gGod bless all cancer fighters out there,! l cant move my lefy legand arm so ouldnt folow all stepes but had some ideas to improve situation nevrtyhrless hrless, thanks for caring enough to video it. Best wishes and gratitude. Just managed to grab my couch and stood up after 20 min. I was a runner and a cyclist before working, on reabilitation at 40 now funny how life teatches us patience and humility but im still standing as elton john sings will fully recover and take my wife and angel to beautiful places again. Thats my dream now. Its going to be beautiful. Those who can move well. Enjoy it and be grateful for that. You are so blessed!

I was in rehab after a BK amputation. One thing they didn't cover was getting back in the wheelchair after a fall. I rolled to a floor mat, stood up and free fell backwards to the mat and pushed my chair across the room. The nurses freaked!! I told them they needed to teach all of us how to get back up in our wheelchairs. I hope my message got through to them....EVERYBODY FALLS!!!.

[@nabranestwistypuzzler7019]

Wait. Why did you not just get up on your full leg?

[@joycehlavac2071]

This is great unless you've had double hip and knee replacements! I can't put pressure or weight on anything! I just try not to fall or get on the floor.

[@CornflowerBlueEyes]

Thank you for showing this. While I'm overall pretty strong and agile, I had a knee injury and have been unable to comfortably and easily get off of the floor for months and months. I really feared a trip or a fall because it's been so painful to get up if I fell accidentally. (I also looked absurd just trying to get up!) Now, with using this method, I can get up quickly and without pain from the floor. This is a huge deal to me! Thanks again.

[@rosalbahamer994]

Strengthen the rest of your body so you can do it

[@marlyndataylor2925]

Thanks for this. I’ve used a version of this without the bear crawl. I try to get to a near by chair and use it.

[@karenbeatty1428]

thanks for this video. I am a new trainer and have so many people who want to work abs but wont get on the floor because they can't get up. so I thought I was being nice by teaching them allstanding ab work.. But then I heard someone say "what if they fall"...come to think of it... my Grandma died that way- she fell in her garage. Now I am going to make them do elbow to palm side push ups off a wall. and teach them how to get up :) thanks again

[@eddiecoates4045]

I have had left knee replacement placement and right hip replacement and 3 1/2 weeks ago total reverse left shoulder replacement. The key was I never got out of shape on leg strength or shoulder strength.

[@smallfootprint2961]

I need this. I'm 82 now and have fallen a few times with mixed results. I need to practice at home. Thank you.

[@saeidmomtahan]

THis might seem commonplace. But a lot of elderly forget about how to get up, put their socks or their shirt on and do other seemingly simple tasks. Great video, thanks for posting it

[@ontheotherhand7627]

I have a wonky knee, and was still able to get up using this technique. Props!

[@patriciajohnson1429]

You are not addressing someone with poor leg function. I have MS & could not bend my legs freely let alone get my feet to stay in place on the floor. Sorry but this will only work for someone in reasonably good shape. Why don't you get some people showing this who are disabled or frail?

[@nabranestwistypuzzler7019]

Ikr fr

[@corinnevivian8533]

I do have MS left leg weak up to ribs and right arm weak I used. To be able now at 71 no I have had 2 falls in the last week can anyone offer a better idea!!!

[@charliea1662]

Great tips, I don’t think I can do the bear crawl and get up from that…..but I am going to practice the roll and have a go! Cheers

[@seagreentangerine2065]

This is really great tutorial - you've gone through lots of positions and what to work on👍

[@johncameratravel1803]

suppose both knees have been replaced? It is not good to put too much pressure on an unprotected kneecap.

[@luckychucky3426]

I live in an apartment complex my next door neighbor died because she couldn't get up her apartment caught on fire she couldn't get off the floor the smoke got her my apartment is right next to her I was out at the time the day before she fell in front of my door I helped her up I had to call another friend to help me help her up then I got what I thought was food poisoning I fell down my apartment I couldn't get up I've always been athletic now that I'm 80 I couldn't get up apartment wasn't on fire I just couldn't get up I learned something very valuable I have to exercise watch this video it can and will save your life

[@jimstevens1093]

What to do with bad knees and shoulders?

[@l.g.n4028]

What about a person with two total knee replacements, two bad shoulders, and 5 herniated discs? How do I get back up? It took me literally 15 minutes to get up after doing some stretching, and I was hurting all over, not from being on the floor but from actually getting up. Any suggesting would help. Thank you so much.

[@nancykralik6779]

Thank you for the information

[@Thurston1946]

It works really well for me. Thanks!

[@murugappanoldisgold1295]

While having knee injury and hip injury with one hand how to stand with out any support.

[@SloopyDog]

That's OK if you have two good arms. I require both shoulders replaced as I have snapped tendons and rotator cuff tears in both arms. I have been waiting for several years trying to find a surgeon who will do the operations. Because of heart problems and high diabetes readings, they will not do the operations. I may now have found a surgeon who is willing to help me. I have been told I must lose weight, I am 17 stn, and my HBA1c readings are slightly high. I have had several falls but because of my shoulder problems I can not get myself up. I had to wait one day for several hours until my wife came back from shopping to get help. I have no strength in my arms, and I also have bad arthritis in my hands. I was a very active person when I was younger but just getting out of a chair is painful now.

[@poetjenoetje]

With 2 total knee replacements , this video is not helping since I no longer can kneel.

[@francoisej5405]

Will be difficult for an elderly person with knee and hip problems or replacement

[@cynthiacazares4807]

I can go to a sitting position. My problem is that I have bad knees. I can not put my weight on my knees. I am over weight and have lost some weight. I go to the Y a couple of times a week and have been using the leg press in hopes that it will help over time to strengthen my knees.

[@annclark2466]

With bilateral knee replacements, I can't go into the hands and knee position because it isand might damage my knees. Should I try to go directly into a ear crawl?

[@murugappanoldisgold1295]

While i am having knee injury and hip injury not able to rraise the hip and balance my self. Then how to get up ?

[@lisahunter2965]

My knees would not the pressure now what ?

[@NR-nf1il]

I get on my knees and then I get up in a downward dog position and walk my hands back to my feet. It works for me.

[@nabranestwistypuzzler7019]

As for me, I simply jump.

[@patriciaowens3479]

That is What I needed to Know! Thanks much.

[@figsworld12]

I have a footdrop on my right foot. I cannot get up off the floor. I am using chairs to aid myself getting up with great difficulty. What is your best opinion please. I am 56

[@KerryKeeler]

I had 2 knee replacements and even though it was several years ago, if I fall it is sooo painful when I get on my knees it is really hard and some swearing to push through the pain to get up. Suggestions?

[@bobkrang5007]

Thank you for the video!!!

[@janetpagendarm9075]

Years ago I tried over something I didn't see fell on my knees on cement like 30 years ago so My knees can't bear weight on them to painful so I can't get up

[@dennisw7350]

This is one of the best on falls, but not for everyone either

[@david203]

A lot of talk to justify this, yet it looks very difficult for an elderly person to do. Jeremy McVay's video looks easier. Maybe "posturedoc" doesn't have the elderly in mind at all. Hard to tell.

[@MOOGLEDREAMER]

that last bit looked impossible!

[@Peter-mz3tx]

Great video

[@boojoh7841]

my right side is paralyzed this doesn't help

[@dennisw7350]

Practice when there is someone around to help if you need it. Sometimes you'll trip across a method that works for you.

[@jeansmith1388]

Ok

[@KC73]

I can’t raise up my shoulders with my arm due to shoulder injuries.

[@TreborYl]

Is complicated when having any condition, I tried to figure out ways to stand up from the floor, I was dispaired for a long time on the floor, so I kinda tried this but modified, by puting the weight werever was less injured and with bending only one leg ,putting the whole weight on the leg I could bend the most, not the healthiest thing to do, but was that or stay on the floor alone.

[@carolwilkerson9039]

I will try with very bad knees it's going to be a challenge but staying on the ground is bad too

[@peggylove7908]

I have had both knees replaced and it is painful to get on my knees!

[@fuzzball4258]

This doesn’t work for everyone. Me! After having 2 back surgeries and needing a 3rd I’ve fallen many times. I’ve had to call either my son in law or police. My problem is, I can’t get my legs or leg bent to use it as an ankh. Sometimes if I have something to push up on. A chair etc. after at least an hour and lots of pain I can do it. I’ve had to crawl on my belly from the bathroom to the bedroom once. That was hard. I’m not only older, weak but out of shape. I can not pull my legs up or out. Help!!

[@cinmac3]

Back support zone?

[@ooshma444]

What if you've had knee replacements in both knees & have total degeneration of both shoulder joints & therefore now strength in your upper body...how can you get up from a fall then? Or can you?

[@MAllen-ng8pl]

You can't.

[@Hisoka1947]

You have hit the nail on the head! Nearly all the KZbin videos on this talk about going on your hands and knees but like you I can't because of replacement knees.

[@gailgrooms997]

add me to the mix - both knees have been replaced and my left shoulder replaced. This technique would never work for me. My last fall needed the fire department to come and get me up. I am like a turtle on its back

[@sallygardner7718]

gail grooms same here as well. Any pressure on my knees causes excruciating pain that lingers for days. It’s just not a possibility for me. And I’ve also had to call 911 when I couldn’t get up. They had to take out a window to get in my house.

[@dennisw7350]

@@Hisoka1947 it keeps coming back to balance exercises, to lessen chance of falling.

[@lukewalker1051]

There are a lot of 'dumb' youtube videos on how seniors should get up off the floor. I am 69 y.o., tallish, correct weight, a swimmer and bike rider...but have some degree of peripheral neuropathy in spite of low sugar levels. I can get up pretty easily, likely due to my fitness and core strength but one point of disagreement with this video which is 'pretty good' but I perform differently. The roll off the side method is best we agree...but don't have to place weight on the palms which can be problematic for the elderly. Instead roll to your favored forearm and push your torso up the floor....but don't try to get onto both feet by rocking back and then do a squat. No. Instead, get in the friendlier position of taking 'one knee' to the ground. Then, push up on the perpendicular knee/femur with both hands and raise your body off the ground. Simple and least stressful kinematically. Again, there is a lot of even harmful advice on the web of how to get off the ground involving crossing your feet and laying your legs on the ground that can cause serious joint damage. A last note. Fighting fitness loss as we seniors age is fundamental. I never thought I would gett old because I have been active my whole life. But that day came. Start doing squats if capable 3 x's a week. I personally do 3 sets of 21 to horizontal femur position, 3 x's a week depending on my cycling schedule. I use a 17 lb dumbbell I support with both hands down low. Some do it with hands high to the chest and some use a kettlebell. Posture is key. Straight back. We need to do light weight training to combat muscle loss and cardio as we age. Cut the sugar, intermittently fast and get as much sleep as you can. I don't drink either but that is your choice.

[@wendyhatton6423]

Ok I’ve had two knee replacements that Didn’t work, 2 spinal ops. Both shoulders are shot as well as my right wrist. So what do I do????? Terrified if I fall, I live alone !!!!

[@rosalbahamer994]

U need a roomate maybe exchange cooking n company or air bnb not to be alone a service dog also helpful n a safe alert machine w buttons for emergencies

[@roadglide]

Alway have your phone and/or a whistle. Never be without it. Keep that phone charged up as well.

[@inkyfngrs2624]

Don’t be too proud to call the fire department. I struggled for a few years until I realized there was no shame in calling for help. Keep your phone with you at all times.

[@truthhurts5158]

What happens if you can' t push up with your legs

Ok I have wiener dogs that just love me to play with them on the floor in their room. Each has a particular type toy. Camo’s is a small ball and Chunky has a small stuffed animal that barely Squeaks. Anyway I had shoulder surgery 3 1/2 weeks ago and now I use my hand and arm to get on the floor and back up. I am 74 and weigh 189 lbs.. works fine

[@mrstevek118]

my problem is that I had a stroke.I am paralized on my left side so I am unable to use my left arm to do the "bear crawl" to get into the squat posittion

That's the way some of the guys can make it 👆 How To Make It Sit Down anyd Stand Up...straight as shown 👆

[@randyishii4826]

Could you get a stroke patient to use this technique to get up. It's easy if you don't have any disabilities. Could you get stroke patient to show this technique. Everyone else has a healthy person showing how to get up.

[@brigidobrien7820]

Grand if you are reasonably healthy ...those people don't need to be told how to get up ....what about someone that can't bend their knee or knees ????
