Bravo Mr. USA b/c you are very tall. Thanks for this video. I've been SCI for 41 years and used to be so much more active in my younger years. Now as I approach a much older age (59), I'm thinking about these things. This is my new challenge for 2024.

[@I_Stack_Metal]

Thanks for your videos. 25 year para here. Dont forget when you do the rear facing method the more you dive your head down when u do your explosive push up the more your rear end will pop up over the seat cushion. Makes it easier to lift your rear pushing your head down like that.

[@MrRooXs]

i had my first fall two days ago. i never learnt how to do floor to chair transfers but i watch a couple videos on youtube. also lucky for me there were people that stopped to help me. i got in to the back facing position and i directed the people. i did most of the work. i was really proud of myself being my first time. ive been paralyzed now for 3 months. this video has given me better insight. i like the way you explain it. i will watch more of your videos. thanks for sharing your knowledge. i am an L1 to L4 complete cauda equina.

[@brianstiles345]

As a recent ampute I'm struggling. This will help a lot and I will look for more, thank you I loved the music too, had to listen again for that!

[@NCHPAD]

Thanks so much for watching! We'd love to create more content for you. Are you in the States?

[@WINKFROMTHEWOOD]

Great video. I am a c-4 c-5 incomplete and I have been transferring from the floor to my chair this same way for years.

[@4TIMESAYEAR]

Who on earth would give this a thumbs down? I think you are pretty awesome and creative!

[@francesrude3007]

THIS IS ONE I WILL WATCH IN A FEW. AS OF YET, I AM NOT WHEELCHAIR BOUND. HOWEVER, WHENEVER I FALL, I CANT GET UP, BECAUSE OF SEVERE NERVE DAMAGE FROM DIABETES. THE PAIN WHEN I GO TO GET UP IS EXCRUCIATING. I HOPE THIS IS BENEFICIAL. I HAVE NOT FALLEN IN AWHILE, BECAUSE OF EXERCISING(CHAIR ONES) THANKS!!

[@NCHPAD]

We're happy to hear about your progress. Great job and keep up the hard work.

[@u2mobility964]

Great Video for floor to chair transfer. I am always surprised to hear that people can't complete this transfer. I hope this helps those for more independence! Great work!!

[@rrhett8315]

I share this to a few Multiple sclerosis pages...love your "can do attitude"...

[@joegamble328]

Michelle Markman RESPECT. Ms sucks :(

[@Geoffr524]

I am not disabled myself, but recently, for the past couple years, when I stock the bottom shelf, of the store, I can not get up, without a milk create. That is, especially if I am on the floor, for a while, putting up several items. I first got interested in this, when I was researching about Handcycles KZbin. Those bikes have the peddle crank for the hands at the top. Those bikes, often with 3 wheels, give quite an upperbody workout, but I never tried one before. Cheapest Handcycles can be around $1200. I have seen Handcycles in use at a local park. In Aug 1989, I crashed hard on my bicycle, with my jaw hitting the ground, and broke my jaw. Crunched 2 vertebrae together, at about C6 in the neck, but the jaw breaking, saved me, from being a quad, shoulders down. Right hinge of jaw snapped.

[@NashAldapa]

Thank you this video is going to help me for the rest of my day

[@NCHPAD]

Thanks so much for walking! Feel free to reach NCHPAD for additional assistance if you live in the United States. We'd love to learn more about the content that you'd like to see.

[@shawnbrasuell8951]

I recently found an easier way for me to do this. I pulled my cushion out of my chair and sat it on the floor and got on it which raised me up a little higher making it so that my legs dont flop over. Sooooooooo much easier!!!! Less strain on my shoulders! Of course I had to get out of my chair to put the cushion back in it by getting on the couch.

[@KhalilAttiba]

Ive been trying this but im not quite as fluid as the examples given in this video...I've been paralyzed for over 5 yrs. Now and i want to be more independent . Thes videos are very inspirational and informative thanks alot!!

[@ConnyNordlicht]

Hi! So good! You can use everything that is stabile enough to hold your weight: Books, in the forest a tree which was made fallen to the ground by a woodchuck, a box and others more. Best this time l found that there were several members who tought us how to do it. There were little varietes by handling and how this works! Fantastic job you do and thanks for your friendly face and character, that helps us to see our handicap a bit as a chance! When some is taken away from us this might be a chance to see something from another sight. When l bekam more and more handicapped l suddenly had to stay home. A short time later after, including all, 15 years, my former mate went away and my little son was so unseddled and confused that he needed me 25 hours a day. And l had all the time he needed! That was the chance he could overcome it withöut unhealthiness forever! You know what l mean? I allways have time, whatever he needs me for! And he is chronicle handicapped , too, but it's his blood and his metabolism, you can't see anything untill he falls down, begins to cry and can't get up. After a time we found out to see some time earlier that it could be his next time and we learned to prwent it mostly! That's so great! I never ever would been able to watch him this qualiy if had worked! So l say, GOD gave me a stop to help my child! Thank you, jesus! And now l've learned so much and do it fwrther on! I love to learn to handle my package but l never had reached out for it. But, too, l'm so thankful to jesus to have had all the time for my child that way! I love to live and will learn more and more! So: Be blessed every single day, my dear! Yours, Conny

[@rockykoast7065]

Beautifully explained, with humour.. :) I was recently diagnosed with chronic radiculopolyneuropathy, secondary to an MGUS which may lead to Waldenstroms. My walking is already a bit compromised, so I was trying to get my head round 'what happens if I have to use a wheelchair eventually?' My first thought was 'how the heck do you get into one?' Now I know. Thanks!

[@bachaplegic]

I am a T2 incomplete para for 30 years and I still can't transfer from the floor to my chair. So wish that I could. This was a very well made instructional video for learning how to get to and from the chair and floor. Great work!

[@Spicy_Dorito]

I like that you guys showed different types of people transferring.

[@janetrobbins8455]

This is a wonderful video! Thank you!

[@pryor70]

I'm an amputee and use a wheelchair and would like to see more videos addressing issues involving amputees and wheelchairs.

[@bltefft]

I'm an AK right leg amputee, have been since 2003. The way I get into my chair is to face the chair, throw my stump up onto the sea and then rotate up and into the chair.

[@arunmanickam1709]

This was so helpful

[@NCHPAD]

Thanks so much for watching! Let us know what you'd like to see next.

[@rebeccapayne5933]

Thanks so for all the different ways to ....you are a blast, keep on sharing your wealth of information!

National Center on Health, Physical Activity and Disability (NCHPAD) Buenas noches, por que Mary Allison no sube nuevos videos.?? me sirvieron de mucho

[@gl5960]

Great video! Placing the front caster facing forward may help with the forward stability of the wheelchair when transferring to and from it. What would you suggest if the individual has relatively shorter arm lengths? Thanks.

[@NCHPAD]

Thanks so much for watching! Are you in the states? Could you send us a message at [e-mail]? We can get someone to advise you directly. Perhaps through Zoom.

[@turtlegamer2300]

Cool this is a really good video tbh I actually found this video helpful

[@kimperkins7255]

Are you wearing a low back brace of some kind for postural support? If so, what kind?

[@anneliesverbruggen6025]

It looks like my arms are just too short over my wheelchair. With stretched arm, I do not touch my wheelchair. Perhaps I need more power in dominant hand / arm? However, I lack that power (chronically ill). So choose the less elegant choice. But this video helped me very much! Have even come across a solution to get to your own toilet by simply transfering to a small chair. Okay, an extra transfer, but still, it's pretty easy now. before that, it was impossible because of the placement of the door. Thanks for the interesting videos !!!

[@sallymjmj750]

This is awesome!

[@NCHPAD]

Thanks so much for watching!

[@vicksurname7840]

Excellent video. I could never do this without my breaks. No way I can do this now after 32 years and buggered upper body limbs.

[@NCHPAD]

Thanks so much for watching! Are there other videos you'd like to see that could be helpful around wheelchair use?

[@ConnyNordlicht]

Hi! Great! Thanks! How to do it if shoulders aren't as powerful as yours? And if legs fall aeide? I saw some with a strap on the upper legs. I ryself have very few/less? Power in my damaged shoulders. They had OPs several times, the name is frozen shoulders and it's one of 16 chronical diseases. But: l'm able to stand and to walk a few steps which makes me very happy! I'm only half-lame at my left leg after some vertebrals went half-out. Don't know the correct expression. Sorry! Can you say/write/show me how l can get it, please? Be blessed!

[@nicolevanderzouwen4523]

This is excellent!!! I will be sharing this :)

[@grocker7683]

[@jaredj631]

[@karenlarke1737]

[@calvinwilliams1111]

I cant get up while my chair is moving I gotta lock my breaks but going down is easy with no breaks because the chair pretty much move out the way itself

[@mmarialilee]

Hi Mary Allison! What type of wheelchair is that? I've been trying to find one like that with the wheels high and the seat low.

[@NCHPAD]

I believe this is a Ti Lite wheelchair.

[@NCHPAD]

Correction this is a Top End Crossfire! sorry about that.

[@goingocampo]

Wow.. I have to try this..

[@lisaj3281]

I used to be able to do this but, my current wheelchair tips too easily.

[@erincarey938]

This may be a weird question but I was wondering were you got the bag you hang on ur chair. Iv looked every were andvi cant find any like it . Also I was wondering of you had any videos of children doing transfers. My daughter 9yrs old has paralysis from the hips down we're having trouble finding a good way for her to transfer from the floor back into her chair.

[@kellytaylor1767]

National Center on Health, Physical Activity and Disability (NCHPAD) I would like to throw my vote in on videos for children. I have a loved one that is 6 and has been in her wheelchair for almost 6 months now. It is all a learning experience for her and I have seen her back away from things that I know she can accomplish with a little practice once she gets past her fear of falling. I'm hoping that seeing some videos that show her what she can do with a little innovation with give her that confidence back, I'm just having trouble really finding any.

[@lenneychristopher]

Erin Carey nothing is ever a weird question. If you don't ask, you don't learn. I was about to ask her the same question myself?

[@karenlarke1737]

+Kelly T My daughter did a few things in a wheelchair inc a balance test and step manoeuvre quite a few years ago when she was about 11 at the Naidex exhibition in Birmingham. 6 years ago it nearly became a reality as she fell of a horse and landed on her head - her hat saved her from being brain damaged - but she almost became a C6 Quad. As luck would have it she escaped with a fracture. Could the hospital she was looked after in find some info for your daughter to help? Or maybe one of the kid's charities might be able to help - I remember one of the places I saw had a lot of little like 'assault courses' and little games set up for children who were getting used to using a wheelchair - the idea was to get used to transferring, manoeuvring wheelchair handling etc - but sadly with my brain injury I cant remember where.

[@bradleybeaumont7344]

When's the next one

[@divertechnology]

she is so so so cute

[@dustinshadle732]
