Number cue = Step to corresponding marker.
Environment Constraints: Seat height, step distance, step raise/height, pace, surface.
Task Constraints: Start/return to seated position; step to marker as per cue: left quadrant = left leg; right quadrant = right leg, centre marker = either leg. Aim to place whole foot on step raise with focus on weight transfer onto stepping leg.
Exercise Design Notes: Small step raise facilitates flexion at stepping leg, raise height should be limited to mid-shin. Weight transfer to stepping leg, drive from stance leg.
Regression/Progression: Seat height, range of motion, pace, step level, multi step/return, multi/mixed cues, add load, add perturbation, surface; step back as per capacity.
