wall slide

Vertical surface glide

A wall slide is an exercise where you stand with your back flat against a wall and slowly slide down into a partial squat, then back up.

Physical therapists use it to strengthen legs and improve posture.

In gaming, a wall slide is when a character descends a vertical surface slowly by pressing against it: Hold the button to wall slide down to the platform below.
