Q6cpm records the chair height. Q5bpm records an initial test attempt to rise from chair without arms. Only if subject can rise from a seated chair position without using their arms, the subject is then asked to perform a repeated chair stand up to a total of 5 times recording the number of successful stands in q6apm. The time required to successfully perform 5 chair-seated to standing position trials without using their arms is recorded in q6bpm.
| chair = | 0 | Subject is unable to rise from chair without using arms, q5bpm = 2,3,4 or 7. |
| 1 | Able to rise from chair and complete 1-4 stands as recorded in q6apm. | |
| 2-5 | Quartiles of the time required to complete 5 chair stands, q6bpm, with 2 the quartile representing the greatest amount of time to complete the task. | |
| Null | Q5bpm = 5, 6, 8, 9, or null. |
