1. I cannot stand up without leaning forward when my feet are out from under my chair.

2. I cannont stand on my toes with my toes against the wall. I can do it away from any wall or stationary object or by a filing cabinet.

3. I cannot touch my toes without falling over when my heels are against the wall. It is because I would need to lean backwards in order to do this excersise, but the wall prevents this.
