Abstract

Sit-to-stand is a critical step in the physical rehabilitation process for critically ill patients，and its dysfunction severely affects the patient’s recovery process and prognosis. This article reviews the core value of sit-to-stand function in the physical rehabilitation of critically ill patients，systematic assessment of critically ill patients prior to implementing sit-to-stand function training，intervention strategies，and outcome evaluation，with the aim of providing reference for clinical practice in the function training for critically ill patients. Currently，standardized protocols for sit-to-stand training have yet to be developed and refined.

Key words： Critical Care Nursing; Sit-to-Stand; Exercise Movement Techniques; Review Literature as Topic
