Standing up without using your hands?

I gotta call this one, it is medical science being stupid in only a way doctors/experts without common sense can be.

Yes, I can stand up without using my hands. But why would I? It takes a lot more effort and even when I was a kid and a young adult I never did it (unless maybe my hands were full). Watch children of all ages and younger adults and they rarely do it. It's just not natural and I tried searching the web to debunk this ridiculous test for assessing how an older person is aging and nothing, nada. Thousands of hits all spewing the same agenda, no information on how this could be inaccurate?

I'm no expert or medical researcher, but shouldn't a test/standard to assess physical aging be a movement or measurement that is something a human actually does on a daily basis? Like squatting, climbing stairs, a few pushups, balancing on one leg or something considered normal or useful?

I guess I'm a dumbass, because after reading this ridiculous stuff I had to try it myself

Your fine, stop reading that crap

My getting off the floor usually involves crawling, a piece of sturdy furniture, and invoking God's name several times.

I really do not care how toddlers and younger adults get off the floor or what the internet has to say. What matter is how I get off the floor.
