What I need

Arm chair is set up. Place in front of a wall. No backlighting, no windows or open hallways in background.
Tape is marked on the floor 10 feet (3m)
Both of patient's shoulders are fully visible (No hair down, No collar on shirt, No scarf)
Tripod is set up with device/camera perpendicular to the ground.
The camera frame will have the feet and shoulders in view for the entire recording.
After the start of recording, count 1, 2, 3 as the patient sits still and then say "Go"
Once the patient returns to the chair, count 1, 2, 3 as the patient sits still and then stop recording

What I need to do for Stand by

Start the video with only the patient visible/in frame
The PT should walk towards the patient so as not to obstruct the view of the patient
The PT should not block the view of the patient with their hands especially when the patient is turning
The PT instructs the patient to keep both feet flat on the floor while seated and no leg crossing
The patient should sit straight in the chair facing the camera - avoid turning side to side or wiggling in the chair
