Thanks to you and your senior costar for showing this transfer in a real home with the kind of chair many folks have. Showing people with different ages and body types (not just therapists) makes things more relatable for families and friends who are learning how to do this for the first time.
By far the most informative video for transferring a quadriplegic with a transfer board. I have watched hundreds of videos…none comes close to this one!!! Thank you, so much.
Thank you Shawna so much, my family and I is new to wheelchairs due to my mother disability. We have been so frustrated on how to transfer my mom in and out of her recliner unto her pot or her in to her wheelchair into the car. THANK YOU ! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!❤❤❤🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
As a fellow therapist, thought this was excellent to show a home patient beforehand, especially when they are fearful. The bending forward to scoot forward can cause anxiety in some patients.
Shawna, Thank you and your co-star for showing us some great tips. My wife and I have learned that an old panty hose leg can be slid over the board to keep my skin from causing me to hang on the board. I also have used a double folder paper towel under my leg to improve the slippage. Take precautions so the surfer doesn’t slide right off the board; then you’ve got to call ☎️ 911, and that can be bad. Thanks again
I watched this on my streaming roku...logged in on computer just to 'like' and 'subscribe'. This was a tremendous blessing. I am the one who will use the board. I just recently learned that the boards exist. My family has increasingly had trouble getting me in and out of the car. This is a God-send. God bless you and thanks from the bottom of my heart. I saw where a hydraulic transfer device cost $6,000. That is just sinful highway robbery and taking advantage of the needy. A $70 board? Now, that is more charitable and kind. May God bless you 100-fold for your compassionate heart and wonderful help. I thank God I will be able to transfer by sliding....:-)
Oh my goodness! I'm so thankful for you and your video. I didn't know how to use this to help my mom and this has made all the difference. Thank you so, so much!
I recommend the wooden sliding boards for transferring from the wheelchair to/from the bed, recliner, shower chair, and cars. I recommend the specially designed pladtic toilet sliding board for toilet transfers. The toilet transfer board can be sanitized, left in the bathroom for easy access/use, and has a unique shape specifically designed to keep the toilet bowl "open" without having to remove the board.
Should you always have someone spotting you or do this alone ? Im about to leave rehab to return to assisted living and they want to see how I'll do . I must get a hospital bed and transfer there wont be a problem only the recliner.
Shawna your video was excellent it was simple and fun to watch . You explain the technique well and I love the telephone book for the moving recliner chair . I am going to use it for my sister 👍👍 who has a difficult time getting up from the recliner .
Thank you so much. I am a volunteer caregiver, saying this I have no training... but lots of common sense. Your info has been incredible/ Thank you again.
thank you very much for your video...my sister cannot walk or stand after back surgery. She also have developed Drop foot which really makes it harder for her to learn to stand or walk. I am bringing her up here where I live. She was not able to take care of herself. She comes on Oct 17th...I have had to order a medical transport because she cant even get or use the bathroom and I want to start her in therapy when she gets here but in the meantime, she uses a slideboard by herself but I want to be able to help her as well. You seem very informative and patient and kind. Thanks for helping us to help them
I had more falls when I put the wheelchair at a 45 degree angle, I put the wheel chair directly in from of the bed. I use the sliding board to turn and slide and have never fallen. PTs have watched me and found it to be OK. Therapists are seldom around in my home to aid.
Thanks for doing this video and for the wonderful tips!! :) Can you explain the 45 degree angle a little further or is there a visual/overhead camera shot of the 2 surfaces? Thanks so much!
Are the boards suppose to be varnished for a better glide? I just got 1 for my husband & it's not varnished it does feel smooth though. My husband recently lost use of his legs & I'm learning how to help him. Thanks for this video.
Can you tell me if these slide boards are suitable for a stroke man who only has use of 1 arm and 1 leg can only use right arm and right leg and is 130kgs in weight, we want to take him in the car but dont how to get him in and out
OMG your video is the best!!! I transfer my mom all the time and since she has Alzheimer she does not cooperate. Should I get the wood one or plastic one? Thanks!
Question: I'm an old-timer and our transfer boards were solid or with horizontal hand holes. I see many now have vertical hand holes.They say user preference, and tried to find more info on it, but none. Do you have any input on the difference and the benefit of one or the other? Thx!
I had a patient that used a block of 4x4 piece of wood that his son wood burned his dad's name on and lacquered it. It was beautiful and very functional.
I used to also have a sliding board Shawna , but dont know what happened to it , I could'nt use it now even if I wanted , as I unfortunatly have'nt got the BALANCE now and I would need support for my back , so I have to use a HOIST to transfere me to bed and visa versa ,I have Spina Bifida / Hydrochalus and since 200/1 due a BAD FALL I now possibly have FYBROMYAGA although have no medical proof only my mum diagnosed me
Hi shawna,just a quick little question I work in a hospital and we dont have sliding boards like that for a transfer,we mainely get the pts to stand up or use a hoist,is there anything else you can suggest instead of the sliding board although its a good idea?
That board is way too long . She needs a board 30 inches with hand grips . From a wheelchair to a chair the wheelchair must higher and vice versa. Problem I have with a recliner is the arms on the chair since you cant remove them like a wheelchair so you must tranfer to the seat cushion and hope your behind has enough room. Getting back too is a challenge. Anyone who can help please tell me .
There are several things I have done. I have a workout step that I carry in my trunk and use because it’s wide and even adjustable. When my patients are ready for discharge and the family doesn’t have a step, we performed the transfer using books with nonskid shelf liner. Let me know if you need a picture of the set up or any additional tips
@@shawnawatts5698 Thank you for the information. Could you also do a video of how to use a transfer board to get into an SUV. Someone I know has one I had been getting into and one time the board slipped out from under me. I ended up with a fractured femur. She wants me to get back in the car but I won't until I know how to do it more safely. I do not have good arm or abdominal strength.
...aaaannnnddd.... how to do the transfer in this way when a patient is twice heavier than you are? Or how to do the transfer with a board right at all in the case, when a patient is much heavier than you are and he can't move his body at all.

Who has telephone books anymore?? Lol. This is a really helpful video. She gives practical informative

Finally a reason to keep the phone books that I get every year. I usually just throw them into the recycling bin.😊
AMAZING!! I am a caregiver and wasn't trained on using a slider prior to helping my client. You save lives!!
bravo!
Thank you for this excellent in-service. Well done

Thank You , You have given to me the correct technique and also the proper angle too ..
I had more falls when I put the wheelchair at a 45 degree angle, I put the wheel chair directly in from of the bed. I use the sliding board to turn and slide and have never fallen. PTs have watched me and found it to be OK. Therapists are seldom around in my home to aid.
The Wheel of Fortune back there is a care provider classic! Nice touch!
Dang you have good eyes to notice the name of the TV program in the background. 👀👏

My husband recently lost use of his legs & I'm learning how to help him. Thanks for this video.
Excellent advice ❤you are brilliant!
What a nice video! It's so helpful and you are so pleasant! Thank you!
i use the same board, you make it easier than reality.
Can you tell me if these slide boards are suitable for a stroke man who only has use of 1 arm and 1 leg can only use right arm and right leg and is 130kgs in weight, we want to take him in the car but dont how to get him in and out
OMG your video is the best!!! I transfer my mom all the time and since she has Alzheimer she does not cooperate. Should I get the wood one or plastic one? Thanks!
How do i support my mother if she can not bend or put any weight on her leg and it’s in a brace sticking straight out.
Thank you for your video that was helpful
How many inches long is the transfer board being used?
Question: I'm an old-timer and our transfer boards were solid or with horizontal hand holes. I see many now have vertical hand holes.They say user preference, and tried to find more info on it, but none. Do you have any input on the difference and the benefit of one or the other? Thx!
She speaks very well
How do you get out of a recliner to a wheelchair?
just what I was thinking, now she will be going up hill.
Can you comment on the merits of boards with zero, one, and two hand holes?
Excellent!!
Describe, please, how to do that when patient has amputated slightly above-knee
right leg. I mean is there a difference?
Have you tried transfers on board with patient having amputated leg (in my case right amputated slightly above knee)? I mean is there much difference?
How u transfer from wheel chair to car for double amputee please just lost my legs please show me
Can we still use a transfer board if our wheel chair side arms dont pull up?
how about if the wheelchair arm rest does not come off ?
What you do if person have been pitsted
Amputated
I love the phone book trick.
I had a patient that used a block of 4x4 piece of wood that his son wood burned his dad's name on and lacquered it. It was beautiful and very functional.
C'est formidable ❤️❤️
where would u get a board like that one
Thank you Shawn. How can I get this video to a class of care givers in Nigeria
I used to also have a sliding board Shawna , but dont know what happened to it , I could'nt use it now even if I wanted , as I unfortunatly have'nt got the BALANCE now and I would need support for my back , so I have to use a HOIST to transfere me to bed and visa versa ,I have Spina Bifida / Hydrochalus and since 200/1 due a BAD FALL I now possibly have FYBROMYAGA although have no medical proof only my mum diagnosed me
Thank you.
Hi shawna,just a quick little question I work in a hospital and we dont have sliding boards like that for a transfer,we mainely get the pts to stand up or use a hoist,is there anything else you can suggest instead of the sliding board although its a good idea?
Thank you! Very helpful!!
Does it work for someone 300lbs
Yes, you just have to make sure the board is graded for 300lbs. The board is normally called a bariatric transfer board.
Thanks
what type of board can u use for transferring to a toilet
Can u show us how to get in a car I use a power chair
That board is way too long . She needs a board 30 inches with hand grips . From a wheelchair to a chair the wheelchair must higher and vice versa. Problem I have with a recliner is the arms on the chair since you cant remove them like a wheelchair so you must tranfer to the seat cushion and hope your behind has enough room. Getting back too is a challenge. Anyone who can help please tell me .
It seem more easy in India bcz there is two to three people to look after for I'll family member..
Be unite be strong.
Value family tradition.
how about single person transfers
Bravo. 👏🏽
what if the wheelchair user's legs do not go down to the floor?

It is certainly not 45 degrees, but somewhere more than 90 degrees, say 135 degrees.
very informative video . by a beautiful girl. doesn't hurt
Awe...Thank you very much for the comment and the wonderful compliment. You made my day :)
Chair! Backpack!
...aaaannnnddd.... how to do the transfer in this way when a patient is twice heavier than you are? Or how to do the transfer with a board right at all in the case, when a patient is much heavier than you are and he can't move his body at all.
Sure looks to me like a 90 degree angle, not 45.
Tom Kupp why do we have to position it in 45deg? Thanks.
