Colorado CNA | Skill 22 | Transfers from Bed to Wheelchair Using Transfer Belt

A transfer is when you move a person into or out of a wheelchair. You may need to use transfer aids such as a gait belt, a sliding board, or a mechanical lift to help move a person. These transfer aids can help make transfers safer and easier for you and the person that you are moving.
In this video, Lisa demonstrates the proper technique when transferring a non-ambulatory resident from a bed to a wheel chair; and then from the wheelchair back to the bed.

is it better lock the wheels from the wheelchair while it’s against the wall

Hi Mario, Thank you for watching the videos. The wheelchair always needs to be locked before you stand your patient up. Hope this helps.
