Stair Transfers! - Spinal Cord Injury

This is how I get up and down the stairs to be with the rest of my family. Sometimes there are places with stairs. You just gotta go one or two steps at a time to get up and down! Not every place is accessible, but many places can be adaptable with the right mindset, people, and equipment! #wheelchair #spinalcordinjury #floortransfer #KZbinr #paralyzed #Minnesota

Very impressive, especially the floor to chair transfer. I am a T4 complete, and I am nowhere near being able to do that. Makes me completely jealous.

[@JackInAction]

It would definitely be more difficult having paralysis in the hands at T4, but I bet there's a way to do it! Or even lifting yourself from the floor to a slightly higher item and then gradually getting back into your chair. Are you able to lift up for pressure relief?

[@DonWW]

@@JackInAction Actually, I have full upper body strength with T4. (Whew!) I have tried it a few times but just cannot get the hang of it. And, over the 6 years I have been in a chair, it definitely would have come in handy a time or two!! I'm 60, so maybe past my athletic prime........

[@JackInAction]

Arm length can also play a factor. I know someone who isn't as tall as me (I'm 6'2") and he crawls up the front of his chair to get up. You're as young as springtime!

[@jean-paulgrasset7654]

Bravo! what is more dificult : up or down?

[@JackInAction]

Jean-Paul Grasset thanks! 🙏🏼 I would say going down is the easiest. The most challenging part is to avoid scraping my tailbone on each step and adjusting my feet onto each step. In this video I didn’t bring my legs up and down each step. I just let them drag, which could potentially cause a sore on the heels, but I was careful 👍🏼

[@jean-paulgrasset7654]

Thank you for your answer. You say it's easier to get down, but to get down a girl is holding your legs, not climbing. Are you going up and down stairs like that?

[@JackInAction]

For me, it is easier to go down the stairs than to go up. If someone grabs my legs for going up or down, down is still the easiest for me.Gravity helps with slowly lowering myself down the steps.
