How to Complete a Slide Board Transfer | Wheelchair to Bed | Paraplegic Transfer

[@josephporreca91]

The way that you explained it Shawna was perfect. I didn’t know that you were supposed to bring your chair in at a 45 degree angle. None of the other examples from other videos never mentioned that at all. Bravo. Thank you so much for explaining correctly and watching out for everyone’s safety.. 👍

I’m having some health issues with my joints, but we had a family trip planned for New York City. This kzbin.infoUgkxuxJwamLFanm476LC5WPeTouyyU1GXomC was perfect! It’s lightweight enough that my friend could carry it up or down stairs when we needed to. (I can walk very short distances) It was comfortable for me to sit in, I would say if you’re super tall it might be a little cramped. I’m 5’1” and the foot rests were the perfect height. This may not be the best one for long term use, you get what you pay for, but for something that fits our budget that gives me accessibility while we deal with my health this was amazing.

Thank you for showing in detail how to do individual transfer. I am a new amputee on my left side I have had a stroke and post stroke my left was very weak and I lost the use of my left arm due contracture now recently I had a blister that got infected in hospital with bacteria and because the infection was changing rapidly and aggressively, I was forced to remove the foot above the knee so now I am trying to learn adjusting to a power wheelchair for mobility.i am working with PT,OT in rehab but I am happy that I found your video. Video.youre very good teacher thank you and may God bless you for your act of kindness Lindsay. .

Very helpful. I am a 74 year old woman whose husband cannot stand any longer to do transfers & this is going to save us. So clear and well presented. Thanks very much.

[@EquipMeOT]

[@carolbmoss]

Du courage pour votre travail. Sa nous fortifie nous les handicapés. Je suis très contente de vous suivre cette émission. Merci ❤️❤️

[@aungthein1647]

Buddha bless you , for assisting ,thousands of persons like myself and others . I am retired 73 yrs old medical doctor . My wife , same age is supervising me , during the transfer for the time being . I do not nkow how long she would be . METTA . may you be well, wealthy and PEACEFUL .

[@sashabell4700]

Very nice presentation. People need to realize a slide board by themselves has to have enough upper strength to do it by themselves, no matter size, weight. Watched several videos she made to get an idea of what my sister is up against from a humerus break. And what my sister might can apply. The hair dryer grip stand my daughter-in-law says that could help her also because doing things above her head her blood pressure drops too low. An Angel sharing her knowledge and I am thankful. Electric bidet I’m obsessed now. As a succulent water bottle as a hand bidet though works better than actual ones made just for a hand bidet, in my opinion, I was. WHY CANT THERE BE AN ELECTRIC? And so there is. Helpful I don’t need to see someone heavy and paralyzed to make it useful. It did show me how a sister helped her sister with a transfer board before they got a van with lift. She is an human encyclopedia of information to help those who need help with disabilities. Short term or long term. Brava.

Thank you, Lindsay, for this very helpful video!

[@kathey1981]

I don't know if this would work for me or not but thank you so much for showing me that that wheelchair arm folds up I had no idea and my mother has been in this wheelchair for at least 2 years

[@EquipMeOT]

Glad to help!

[@kristimoore5807]

Hi Lindsay. My mom is a senior and a recent above the knee amputee. Do you any videos to help with amputees? I’m really enjoying your videos so far and look foward to watching all of them. Thank you.

You’re welcome!

[@jhotrod4256]

Can you show with not much use of left side

[@TURTLEORIGINAL]

It would be much better, if you were to use and, assist an actual paraplegic, allowing the paraplegic to do the transfers.

[@abou8963]

I shared this. Thank you.

[@EquipMeOT]

Thank you for sharing!

[@t.c.5456]

Thanks!

[@EquipMeOT]

No problem!

[@claritywellnesscoaching768]

This was great! I am refreshing my skills for a new OT job in phys dis. Do you have any videos about the difference from these boards to using a curved or a banana board? I know there are different opinions about which direction to have that curve! also, here in the UK they don’t use gait belts which is weird for me as a California OT. Do you feel like they are very necessary in some cases? They also sometimes use small loop slide sheets to help with these transfers, but they are hard to find nowadays!

[@speedracer1945]

Short board is better. 18x30 chair must be higher than bed or vice versa be a 45 degree angle with board. Ive been practiceing .

[@MoonRed3688]

You standing up, I was thinking: Oh my gosh! Turns out you're not disabled😅

[@dianedunbar1805]

I cannot get out of bed from the side. My husband puts the chair at the foot of the bed facing the headboard. I turn around with my feet towards the headboard and slide backwards into the wheelchair. This is because I have lymphedema and my legs are heavy and it’s hard sliding out of bed from the side. Also when getting in once I have slidden onto the bed my husband or son pick my legs up and turn them onto the bed. Sometime we as handicapped people have to figure out ways that best works for us.

[@ajitgautam6225]

Good👍👍👍👍👍👍

Foot drop video show?

[@angiegriffith5600]

My brack is sticking up and in the way of the slide board. Is there anything I can do about my bracks?

[@ralphbrewster3241]

Ok, now let’s see someone who is actually paralyzed and 200+ lbs go uphill on to the bed. I love it when they always show skinny people doing this. It’s a lot harder when your actually paralyzed and heavier.

[@YoureWatchingBTV_Official]

Your 200 lbs example will need more triceps and core stability exercise, possibly a longer slide board to provide a longer lever since that person is going uphill.

[@aungthein1647]

This is generalized presentation , and we do need to do some adaptation . You still need to consult with your personal physiotherapist . Your health is your responsibilities . METTA .

[@cynthiacler9284]

Preach brother Preach!! Don't you just love the transfer videos that show 2 care givers helping, like who has 1 let alone 2 caregivers? 😏

I'd use a hoyer lift or electric transfer chair on someone whose that size.

[@pinkypop9647]

thank you very useful!@

[@EquipMeOT]

Glad to help!

[@IkeFarI]

Hi, I have CP but eventually, I do transfer myself like you do. (Despite I never used slideboards, do you think it might help me) ? Because when I’m traveling, I do struggle a lot or I need help when the bed is like 60cm ; this is not much but anyway, this is way higher than my wheelchair :-( How do you proceed in that case ? ♿️

[@carlawalker850]

What if your 65 and only have one leg?

[@user-vh7dt8tg4d]

do you ever recommend a curved transfer board?

[@EquipMeOT]

Yes, especially really tight spaces or to assist getting around the wheelchair tire.

[@vesarchauhan3418]

👌👌👌

[@kalaiselviskalaimuthu7127]

Where can i purchase a slide board

[@EquipMeOT]

Most medical supply companies carry a variety of them. They can also be found online through amazon or other similar services.

[@morgancalvi6675]

Which hip is injured? Wow...if you're in a wheelchair long term people...please get a rigid chair with a solid pan seat. The wheelchair she's in is for hospitals or nursing homes and is way too big for her.

Nice, check monic recovery in this app. She is Paralegic she show how to transfer.

[@DontWorryBouttaThing]

gonna point out that your fingers were under the board while you were sliding. that is a big no no miss bo bo.

[@marymarros8949]

Helpful, but 4+ minutes in before actual explanation and use.

[@stvandy1]

Get someone who isn’t ambulatory to show us.

[@yolandapaclibar3154]

That’s useless for a person who cannot move or stand up at all
