How I Transfer into an SUV - Nakeitha Rose, T4 Complete Paraplegic from Connecticut, USA

[@lynipsen2359]

I fractured both ankles so I’m in a wheelchair for a few months and i am amazed at how you make the transfer from chair to suv with such ease and you did it all by yourself no less. Bravo and thank you.

[@kedahrose6082]

Thank you, so much! We can do all things through Christ and that's definitely where my strength comes from. I hope your ankles heal up, but until they do, take it easy 🙂

Thank you so much for making this video. I was searching for a video of a transfer up into an suv because I was told it was not possible with a regular slide board. You proved them wrong and helped build my confidence greatly!!

[@kedahrose6082]

Anything is possible when you have faith in yourself as well as your God. Thank you for watching my video. It excites me to know I'm building confidence within the spinal cord community....that alone inspires me.

I am so amazed. That did help and I have a new challenge for my husband. Your spirit is infectious. And your Beautiful

I am in the beginning of learning to use the slide board. I find your go get it done it attitude very inspiring. One thing I like about your representation is anyone can tell this is quite difficult and that helps me to understand that I don't just jump up there and slide over. It is difficult And it's OK if it's hard work.

[@MoreThanWalking]

Awesome! Continue to practice and you will perfect it!

[@kedahrose6082]

@deborahcavenaugh8478 thank you very much 🙂 it is and can be very difficult to transfer so take your time and be patient with yourself.

Hi Rudolf, are you interested in joining our online group for t1-9 paraplegics? You can ask questions of demonstrators like Nakeitha there.

[@kedahrose6082]

Rudolph you're very welcome 😉

[@2legit437]

Incredible display of a strong character and a never give up attitude. Great technique as well! What are your thoughts on possibly using a longer transfer board, like a 30 inch length? Your opinion has more credence due to your extensive personal experience. Thank you very much for your time. God bless!

[@kedahrose6082]

Thanks 2 Legit! I have actually started using a longer transfer board and it does help tremendously. It's a frog legs brand just in case your wondering 😉

[@2legit437]

@@kedahrose6082 thank you for telling me the brand. I will look it up. God bless!

[@kedahrose6082]

You're very welcome. Blessings always! 🤘🏾💫

What brand of wheelchair do you use, if you don’t mind me asking ….

[@freesoul3371]

Auto mobility equipment installers and manufacturers like mobility works or mobility innovations have and can install a transfer board that attaches to the frame of the car seat and just flips up to close the door ane down for the transfer. I got hurt 19 years old 1981 T-12 and they gave me a board like that but I never needd it. Now I am 63 and want a Porsche 911 Turbo S which is a low vehicle seat with a gap space ofabout 8-10 inches from the door jam to the seat and want to make the transfer as easy and as safe as possible so I am exploring my options. I may just put a hunk of 4" or so firm foam in the vehicle door gap. check out the fixed plate transfer boards of mobility innovations....Good luck 😊

Good

[@Terrell3839]

Can you show your spasms?

[@TheRivrPrncess]

I tried getting into an SUV with a transfer board. One day, the transfer board slipped and while trying get into the seat I fractured my femur. My advise to anyone is always have someone capable of catching the wheelchair user if they slip off the board and watch how their legs are positioned as they are trying to get into the SUV. For me, I won't try getting into one again unless I can be helped in to the SUV.

[@MoreThanWalking]

One definitely needs to be cafeful! Thank you for commenting!

[@kedahrose6082]

Forgive me to not responding soon enough, but I hope this message finds you in the very best of health and happiness. You are absolutely right about having someone nearby to assist just in case. I too had an experience and my board slipped from underneath me and boy I had a time getting back in the car seat, but with my friends help & having some upper body strength helped. So please take your time while transferring. Peace and love

[@kedahrose6082]

@TheRivrPrincess I'm sorry to hear that you were injured while attempting to do this & you are absolutely right about having someone by your side when learning to transfer for the first time or in general bc anything can happen. It's happened to me before and boy was it a struggle. I now use a longer board, make sure my brakes have a tight grip on the wheels and last but not least have someone on standby just in case.
