I have a question about the video. Are you wearing something to protect your butt like a diaper? I used a transfer board two years ago to practice transfer, and I got hurt my butt, so I haven't tried it since then because I'm afraid to use the transfer board.

@davejacka4273 Ай бұрын

Hi, Sorry to hear you damaged your skin. No I don't have any protection apart from my jeans and underwear. I've never had any problems. The more you practice the better you get at sliding your but which minimises the risk of hurting your skin. At times I may have sat on the edge of the board and got a small scratch, but nothing that was ever a concern. It may be worth trying again and modifying how you do it slightly to see if your skin handles it. It is worth pursuing as it gives your another level of independence. Good luck with it. Cheers

My mobility is decreasing, and I am on the journey to get a new chair. I will hopefully be able to load it over top of my self like you do instead of loading it into my trunk as I can no longer ambulate safely to the front of my car. I have been watching videos on car transfers to get some more ideas as I am small and so the chair seems unwieldy at the moment. So far I have just trialed a new chair and so I haven’t had long to practice. Watching you has given me some ideas and has also given me hope that with some determination I can make this work

Hi Shawna, thank you so much for our message. I'm so glad that you have got some ideas from the video. I'm sure with practice and perseverance, you will do it. All the best.

I'm a fellow quad C5-6 with a Greenspeed GTH too. My brakes are original drums (where yours has disc brakes) and too hard to operate by standard double lever. See you extended yours, but I wouldn't feel safe having to disconnect hand, then find brake and apply. Is that why you went upto a Lasher?

God bless you Dave very inspiring but I think there are better chairs to get when it comes to trying to drive and be mobile. also. , I think you should have straps in the roof of the vehicle so that you can swing yourself in better. But you are younger and stronger than me. So I guess it's all good. Must respect for you. Peace.

No problem. The biggest challenge at times are other peoples limiting beliefs of what people with disabilities can do. Hopefully attitudes will change, even if slowly - opening up opportunities.
