Start with the reason
Someone may want to garden, play with a child, attend a floor-based class, or feel more prepared for daily life. Those goals do not all require an identical movement sequence.
Body proportions, joint comfort, available support, and current ability affect which approach is useful.
Practice is different from recovering after a fall
An intentional transfer on a clear surface is not the same situation as an unexpected fall with possible injury or dizziness. After a fall, assessing injury and obtaining help may take priority over trying to stand immediately.
An online demonstration cannot determine whether a particular person can safely attempt a transfer alone.
Make the environment part of the plan
A stable support that will not slide or tip, enough clear space, and an appropriate person nearby may be relevant. If you are unsure how to get back up, starting alone on the floor is not a useful test of determination. A physical therapist or suitably qualified professional can help identify an approach that fits.
The meaningful outcome is being able to accomplish a valued task with suitable support and control. A social-media score based on avoiding hands or knees is a different test, and it cannot summarize someone's health or future independence.
