From a standing position facing a wall, subjects placed the right foot forward about 2 ft (0.61 m) from the wall and the left foot 3 to 4 ft (0.91 to 1.22 m) from the wall in a staggered stance. They placed both hands on the wall and leaned forward, keeping the left leg straight with the heel on the floor and the right knee slightly bent. The stretch was repeated on the other side.
