beidseitiger Stand

I just wanted to say I finally translated this with "Can stand on either leg without problems". I appreciate all the suggestions, especially Marga's, which clarified the matter.

separately. But it's not an awfully sophisticated one...

then it's quite clear - also based on Marga's reference: unilateral stance on the right and the left leg (each) is possible :-)

Thanks, everyone, for the help so far. I checked out Marga Shaw's reference and I see there may be a difference between "beidbeinig" and "beidseitig". (It is a great website for German physical therapy terms). As for your question, MMUlr, the patient is in fine overall condition, middle-aged, he only has a minor neurological problem but he can definitely stand, walk, etc.

Please have look at the following document (German language):
http://miami.uni-muenster.de/servlets/DerivateServlet/Deriva...

In Table 3, reference is made to "beidseitiger Stand" and "beidbeiniger Stand", and there seems to be a difference between the two. See also the figs., in particular fig. 11 which refers to "Station 10" and "beidseitiger Stand".
Hope it helps a bit.

leaving out the 'legs' to keep it comfortably vague

Can you tell anything about the condition of the patient? Is ia maybe an old, impaired person, what kind of disease? This may give us a clue whether it is worthwhile mentioning that this patient can stand on his/her two feet. ;-)

It's more likely

perhaps?
