Balanced With Brenda
United States
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 24 ก.ค. 2019
I"m a physical therapist with a passion for wellness and lifelong learning. I'm a believer in a balanced life--emotional, spiritual, and physical--leads to optimal aging in place with confidence and health. I love teaching transfer training, accessible design that is not sterile, capturing the mood of a clinic, or home, so it feels welcoming, consulting with compaines, and helping with accessible travel. Caregivers need exercises just like clients do--we all need to be getting stronger as we age, while focusing on our mind/body/spirit staying flexible. Lets do this and have fun in the process!

Is that the cover that came with yours? I like it but my cover is different
It seems like the covers change every few years! I have another mini and the cover is different as well.
Thanks for sharing! We’re planning a new home now and working with an architect to make sure we get a home we can age well in. The roll in shower floor slope is something I hadn’t really thought about. Thanks!
thanks for commenting!! I was talked out of the trough drain because of cost, but would very much do that instead of having such an angle in the floor.
@@balancedwithbrenda25 I’ve had a walk-in shower built with only a slight slope, not near as sloped as yours. It worked fine. I’ll definitely keep an eye on the builder when they do ours.
Great helpful tip Brenda.
Thanks!!
that's all i see without glasses lol
I can relate!!!
Great job, y’all!
Thank you!!
by the time ive already lost my pea
I’m having some health issues with my joints, but we had a family trip planned for New York City. This th-cam.com/users/postUgkxuxJwamLFanm476LC5WPeTouyyU1GXomC 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.
Doing it with a real patients with real weakness is another story 😊
Que Deus te proteja sempre ❤❤
Helo l am disable please help me
smart videos and working
They show all these transfers with peoples clothes on. My question is how do we pull pants down before or after sliding them onto a toilet. Can't slide their bare butt on the transfer board and if so it definitely will be a lot harder. If it can be done at all. Ugh.
This may sound stupid, I do some heat-press work on t-shirts etc, we use a "PTFE Teflon Sheet for Heat Press" that comes on various sizes on Amazon or wherever, I use the 24" x 16" sheets daily, I pay $9 for a 4-pak. Those sheets are super slick and glide like warm butter over any surface, and they're relatively durable. Two of them against one another is the slipperiest thing I've ever encountered. You don't want to go all Clark Griswald... but this slick sheet may come in handy for dead-weight moving.
Baby powder on the board, or get on the commode and then remove clothes, sometimes in the setting they don't have clothes on to start with , so that transfer belt helps a lot and gives you something to hold on to.
Pull clothes to thigh area before transfer. Use a transfer sheet to slide over then remove the sheet if they can’t stand
Czy można kupić i jaki koszt takiej deski?
Lol she is not real patient so this video no sense
Hard to video real clients due to HIPPA laws, hopefully the cues help you.
Not easily done with someone who is dead weight.
Or much much bigger!
Excellent.
This was very helpful
Would you please do videos with real patients?? Much more authentic.
After u put them on chair it's hard to get there clothes down . need to know how it's hard when there body does not work from waste down. Please help.
I had to do this method but with a 400 pound client.
Hehe really?
it's not such an easy duty
I'd hire you. Where are you?
I"m in Texas
Is that wheelchair more at a 90 degree angle to the toilet though? Don’t you ideally want a 20-45 degree angle?
there is ideal and then there is real world, we were working with what room we had because there is a sink out of view of the camera.
Excelent
Good
Well demonstrated with main points in writing. Great teaching.👍
thank you
She's hired. If you need assistance, this is the type of person you want. She's very professional, and she knows what she's doing.

I believe, just reverse all the steps mentioned and she will be back on the wheelchair safely.
