In the recovery room, if a woman is asked to either raise her legs (knees extended) off the bed or to flex her knees, place her feet flat on the bed, and raise her buttocks well off the bed, most likely she is being tested to see if she:
 
  1. has recovered from epidural or spinal anesthesia.
  2. has hidden bleeding underneath her.
  3. has regained some flexibility.
  4. is a candidate to go home after 6 hours.
