- A transferboard could make a wheelchair transfer
to and from another surface
both easier as well as safer.
Here, a physical therapist helps
a patient with a spinal cord injury
practice the technique for a car transfer.
A transferboard is a common
piece of equipment
that is available in a variety
of lengths and configurations
Thanks for uploading this!
My husband cannot use both arms like this patient can. Makes a difference.
you need to look up videos for "maximum assist" transfer and "dependent transfer"
Very useful video, thank u🎊😘
Good luck i wish you the best
This is simple. May be it will work for me.
the transfer board would be useful for those who have strong use of their hands and arms, not so helpful for others
What do you when your chair is higher than the car your transferring to?
I get in my son's big Powerstroke Ford pickup but I require some assistance from him, i use the handle and pull myself up while he pushes up my bottom, but I've been told my upper body is stronger than alot of ppl.

What if you're heavy? That looks so unsafe.
She’s lightweight and still fairly quick with her mobility but it wouldn’t work on bigger people with less movements than her?🙁
I have seen it work on very obese 75 years old amputee at knee on one side.
Nice
Let’s see a 250 lb man do this with a Prosthetic leg !
doesn’t matter if they can move their leg or both legs. The Person still cannot walk or use their legs, other then maybe standing with a Modified cane. In some rare cases they can walk a short distance with assistance. Educate yourself on spinal cord injuries before you comment about that she can move her leg.
Exactly! Sometimes paralysis is certain muscles, sometimes you can feel everything fine but cant move much of your legs. It all depends on how your nerves were jacked up.
It definitely matters whether or not you can move your legs or not. I am completely paralyzed from the knees down with pure numbness. Transferring with a board like that is not easy for me. I am completely nonweightbearing. And the ability to transfer easily Such as her does not work like that for somebody who carries dead weight. I know this because I have done it and it definitely was not a smooth and easy transfer. She also has a lot of upper body strength that makes transferring easy for her as well.
@@21biami t3 complete para here, I don't have any core body strength and I agree it absolutely matters because it is a balance issue for the higher sci.
Good
What is the highest car you can use the transfer board in
The use of the transfer board is most ideal when the heights of the car seat and the wheelchair seat are level. If the surfaces are uneven, the transfer board may still be used, but it will be more difficult sliding or scooting “uphill” from the lower surface to the higher surface.
Okay! Now! Capeesh!
Hope the girls is doing well these days.
