- This video demonstrates how to properly transfer someone using a dependent transfer. In this video I show you how to lift properly without hurting your back and reveal the 4 things you should be doing while transferring: Lifting with your legs, keeping your spine straight, pivoting NOT rotating, and getting close.

My dad and I have been struggling to get my mom, who's over 240lbs, into bed from her wheelchair for the past couple of nights. I found this video tonight and for the first time we were able to get her comfortably on the bed without any struggle. This video has been a godsend and I'm so glad it's on TH-cam.
I just seen something called a pivot board. It helps keep from having her have to help turn so may help you.
Safety Sure has nice one with a handle
Hoyer lift
@@bananapuffs1 yes but insanely expensive for the average person and the room needs to fit it. But if it's possible, I second this!
I can't stress enough... use your knees not your back! And if I can offer any tips, let me know🙂
He begins at 3:33 in case people want to get right to it.
Very helpful!
Thank u too much talking for sure!
Thank You
Thanks lol!
The MVP right there...
Thanks
Your video by far is one of the best I have watched on transfers. With your video, I could finally transfer my mom from bed to wheelchair and back on my own without hurting my back. My mom is about 57kg but she is slighty taller and I do not have much physical strength. Thank you so much, Justin 🙏
5 years later and still learning from Justin. Still best video!!!
I had difficulty in transferring my patient each time from wheelchair to bed and from bed to wheelchair, I just watched this video and to my greatest surprise I transfer my patient without the help of others..thx for the video super
Was able to execute this transfer after only watching your video twice. Easy to follow instructions. Thank you for saving my back.
This was by far THE BEST video to help learn to transfer someone !
Thank you for this very useful video. It’s great that you mention all the details and helpful tips to prevent injury to the care giver.
Thank you! That was really helpful. I looked at a TON of videos before I found a useful one (yours). Appreciate that this is applicable for real life.
I’ve watched several transfer videos this morning. This is the first one that is correct! Thank you! One other tip, if they have use of their hands, have them grab your waist or elbows. If they try grabbing anything else while you transfer it’ll throw it all off
Most straightforward and HELPFUL video I have ever watched in terms of assisting my disabled son and preserving my own body. Will watch more of your posts.thank you very much for your detailed demo.
Best one video for this transfer that I’ve seen after watching at least 10. Thank YOU 🙏
Thank you for this video. My wife and I spent a week with her mother relieving her sister of health care responsibilities. Your instruction is very applicable. Thanks.
Appreciate that the "patient" doesn't help and is somewhat like a genuine situation.
My patient does worse than not help, he subverts the process.
Mine doesn't help at all my back is hurting so bad .I may need someone to help me up.
My patient weight 175 lbs helped just 5-10%, 90-95% dependent on me. And I am 120 lbs, wished the patient could helped a little more. That would be a lots helpful
@@latoshaossai3302 try sliding them from a plank. Lower the bed if you can. Then use the plank to return to wheelchair. You should not dead lift!
@@mythaichannel9082 you need to use a standing aid like a steady or hoist. Your body is NOT a standing aid x
Best One Ever. Thank you so much. Before I watched this today we were thinking my Dad would now be bedridden.
Well articulated and demonstrated.Shalom!
Thank you very much for making along with explaining the proper process for transferring a person on to bed from a wheelchair and versa onto a wheelchair from the bed.
Thanks so much for your video. Transferring is skill that we can all improve by watching your technique.
I work with a caregiver who allows the patient to grab his neck! I sent your video to him. Hopefully it will save his neck.
Thank you so much!! I actually found this video trying to figure out how to use the hydraulic lift we bought so I can transfer my mom. This was a HUGE help! Thank you!!
Best transfer video I've seen... Thank you so much
Beautifully done!!!!! Thank you!!!
Massive thank you, I have been trained in lifting patients but someone told me I was doing an "illegal lift" by doing pretty much as you did here, I'm male and work thru agency and its awful how agency workers like myself who want to help and be part of the team get treated, made to feel out of place
In my state, this is definitely a legal and good transfer. It is what you are supposed to do. But I see a lot of underarm lifts and arms extended like a child lifts and those are illegal. I was trained gender does not change the way the care giver transfers the patient, all other things being equal.
Explained very well! Thanks for sharing! ❤️🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thank you. Mom is a stroke patient and we so new to all this.
This helped me soo much. Thank you!! 🙏🙏
Extremely helpful. Wish more medical facilities had this kind of training
This has helped me tremendously with my mom!! Thank you so much for this video. I have also shared it with her caretaker. It worked very well getting her into the car.
Thank you so much for this very detailed demonstration. I am relatively new to caring and this was much more helpful than any of my courses or training thus far.
Same
Best video ever! I truly appreciate it
AWESOME teaching style. Thank you!
This video was SOO helpful! Thank you!
Suddenly this is my world and I'm woefully short on know-how; this video is super instructive and helpful.
Thanks alot for sharing your awesome knowledge. Especially all nurses used to hurt their back if they dont use these manuvers
We have what's called a Sara Steady for transferring my dad. It makes things a lot easier.
Well done Justin! Simple and can use for caregiver and family training sessions.
I did CNA school and am still active in my field. I like to do refreshers and this video is good. However I would reshoot it and get a video of the feet and the wheelchair and the client. Showing people how to take off the foot pedals/showing your feet placement and the clients body placement from the front. Visuals help a lot - verbal can be confusing when we are blocked from seeing it. The shot is a bit too far.
Just a suggestion for future videos :)
Agree 😊
Very good idea!!!
Thank you for a great video! Would love to see the footwork too!
Just what I needed to see demonstrated, complete with reasoning. It is easier to 'get close' to a loved one than it is to a member of the opposite sex'. That takes a level of trust and understanding from a 'patient.'
Thank you for sharing this! 😊 I found it helpful.
Gait belt?
Awesome video thx, very helpful as I struggle with wheelchair to bed transfers
Best to watch I swear everybody should watch now it’s a very good video to watch help you experience more to the health care
God bless you brother
Thank you so much!! ❤️
Brilliant video, totally agree with strong hammies/glutes to make transfer👌🙂
It’s great to learn a technique like this that doesn’t require a gait belt. The mechanics and details look very sound. Thank you
The foot work is the key to this. It would have been nice
to have just that on the screen at the end of the video. Once
for going leftwards and again for going to the right. I've tried
to do the foot work myself alone, but even though I think I
understand the verbal description, I can't seem to make it
happen without twisting my spine or becoming unbalanced.
Thanks for the demonstration. My lower back tends to be sore in general. Will this maneuver place any added strain on it?
This was so helpful :) thank you
Excellent demonstration
This great I been searching for video like this one I watch over hundreds of them believe me this is THE BEST ONE EVER WELL SPOKEN I spent countless hours for last 5 month's looking how to(transfer) I feel like I got load of my shoulders I could breathe easily now thank so much
Wow, that's great. This is my first video on the subject, so I lucked out :-)
How's the technique for you now, a year later? Is the pivot still working for you and is your back intact?
@@Yowzoe my i
I'm going to show this to my Caretaker. Thank you!
Thank you so much for such a wonderful video
That helped me a lot thanks man
she's nice and light. can this be done with a client around 240lbs?
Yes
Thanks for this information!!
Thanks for this very useful video, Justin!
Single best video available to move someone with little to no power
Excellent. Thank you.
Great video, thank you so much, both of you.
So helpful! Thank you
Could you show a video when the patient fell out of bed and isn't cooperating or unconscious to lift them back into bed.
Try and grab from behind under arms and other grab the legs .
This would be a great video if one is alone. But if you have company, make it a two-person job
From the floor is a whole different ballgame, but if u can lift them into a sitting position, legs outstretched or slightly bent or blocked, get behind the person, hug them close under their arms, arch ur back, tighten ur core & lift up with ur legs & then fall on the bed, j/k not really... 😝 But u don't want to be twisting & lifting, try to keep ur back & core tight and then rock/walk to cover any distance.
From the floor I recommend always having two people to lift. It can be quite difficult to get someone off the floor by yourself.
With my Mom, the other person to help me lift, was a Hoyer lift & sling 😝
But with my M-i-L & her late-stage Alzheimer's she was ambulatory, until she wasn't... It's sometimes more difficult when they're NOT cooperating. But helpful to go in stages, like first getting into seated position, and lift to a foot stool, and then a chair, and then bed, depending on how high ur bed or chair is.
My Mom died 4yrs ago & my M-i-L, this past Nov 30th 😢
Amazing Well done 👍
Tysm for this informational video☺️
Respect to you
This video was very helpful 🙂🙂👌
Wow that’s really help me thank you❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for the video. I am a Caregiver.
This is a wonderful video! I'm curious about doing this kind of transfer to a toilet. How do pull the pants up and down?
Thank you for this 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Thanks so much, I need this for my grandma
Thank you for showing easy lift,
Thank you for sharing
Thank you so helpful

THANK YOU!
Gracias por la buena información
Very nice. Thank you. I have subscribed.
Thank you.
If I credit your content, may I include it in an educational video for my non-profit company?
Thanks I learned a lot ...
Thankyou very much sir!!!
Hi. I currently work with a quadriplegic. He’s a good sized individual and his mom has taken care of him for 30 years now. She’s currently in her mid seventies and still going strong for her son but…. I see the back guarding and sitting to relieve all the discomfort she has intermittently. She’s very dedicated. My question is this, I see that she’s lifting properly according to this video but my concern is for the person’s position helping her. For instance, helper is typically at one or the other sides of client and always reaching and extending posture which is very hard on the lower back and upper neck and shoulders. I’m concerned that this position from the side is not a proper technique and a red flag for potential injury. Do you have recommendations on how to transfer from recliner to wheelchair and bed to wheelchair and vise versa with a slide board? Client and mom do not want to use a lift.
Appreciate it good to know i learn something
Thanks bro
By doing this, using gait belt is very advisable. It is beneficial for both the therapist and the patient. Also, proper body mechanics has to be put into consideration. There is a wide range of contraindications in lifting a patient.
What's a gait belt?
@@shadowcastprime2100 Hi. I hope you found your answer, but if not: A gait belt is a wide belt, usually consisting of layers of heavy cloth so that the patient's weight can't damage or break it.
You wrap the belt around the patient's upper hips like a regular belt, then tighten it enough so only four fingers on each side can get through.
Instead of 'hugging' the patient, you reach around behind and grip the belt. Now lift, pivot, etc.
@@colinmerritt7645 I did, but thank you
Thanks have gotten a lesson
Very good information
Nice Video very helpful
Beautiful 👍
Thank you ☺️❤️😊
Good form
what if the person if completely paralyzed? i have been caring for my mother in law who has als so she has no movement at all. the only thing she can do is hold herself up if i lean her against a wall?
Super helpful! Thank you so much!
How do you transfer one whose legs are immobile and loose? can't take any weight on the legs? And one is is afraid of falling?
Thanks Justin
In transfering a half paralyzed which side should be on the bed? The good side or bad side?
Thank you! Can too you do a video of scenarios when the carer is not a very strong female, who's caring for a larger elderly man (not obese, just a bigger person) who cannot help himself and doesn't have all his faculty? Our father is old and has brains problem, my sibling spends most of her time liking after him. Due to her being old, and him being bigger, she is always depleted by the end of everyday. We could really use your experience and knowledge.
My son weighing 120kg having weak Muscles can't standup and it is much difficult to bed and on WC. Please give me idea how to make him independent using hydraulic jacks to lift him up and transfer
Hey Christie what if the patient cannot stand or move the legs on his own
thanks a lot
