The purpose of this study was to clarify the characteristics of sitting posture and standing up movements by conducting a behavioral observation survey of day service users, focusing on the level of care required with different daily living abilities. In the sitting posture, the upper body changed from forward leaning to backward leaning from nursing care level 1 to nursing care level 4,
and in the standing up movement, the use of elbow rests decreased from nursing care level 4 to nursing care level 1.
