    Oh, how I remember doing this over and over again. Caregivers must take care of ourselves so we can better care for our loved ones. A great, easy-read book for caregivers to read is The Inspired Caregiver book. It was created just for the health of the caregiver. We need all the help we can get. Great video. It's the little things in caregiving that are the big things- such as making sure the wheelchair is secure and locked before placing the patient in it.

    That technique is how we learnt it as well. Unfortunately you rarely have 2 therapists nor that type of skinny patients. And the technique isn't good enough to prevent back damage, especially not for tall people. I'f the weight isn't totally out of control, i'd definitely prefer vertically lifting the patient completely, by standing very close to him, rather than trying the demonstrated low transfer. They keep saying "keep your back straight" but as you can clearly see that isn't possible.

    Gait belts aren't "always" indicated, even though they do assist greatly in many situations. With a patient who needs maximal assist to transfer, a gait belt is more likely to lead to injury than to assist with the transfer. What would be better from a movement/stability/safety standpoint is to have support under the patients hips, such as a bed sheet, and use it to support the hips during the transfer while blocking the knees. Safe transfer, safe back.

    Anti slip socks, gait belt, and i was taught to put your knee between their legs to pevent dropping them. Use your other leg toward the wheel chair to guide them safely into the chair. Putting both patients knees between your legs can be risky. Had to stop the video as some of these things in the video scare me. I kept asking myself multiple times.... Where is the gait belt!?

    Well that's an interesting transfer technique. I'm not sure about the healthcare in Singapore but in Boston we try to do transfers without getting to 2nd base with the patient by groping their buttocks. Singapore should learn about gait belts, slide boards and slide sheets. Plus if a person is a maximal assistance I'm not sure why you wouldn't use a mechanical lift or stand assist lift. It would greatly reduce the risk of injury not only to your patients but also to your staff.

    Well I'm not sure what setting or location you work in but I respectfully disagree with you. If you use a gait belt CORRECTLY it will not slip. A manual lift isn't safe for the patient or the staff. Saying it is the safest actually made me laugh out loud. I won't even get into respect for your patient, grabbing areas that are susceptible for skin break down and having a real patient not a 115 movie star. Try that with a 300 lb that is only 5 feet tall. Use a mechanical lift for all max transfers

    While I appreciate you for taking the time to educate people, it's worth noting that having a 300 pound patient is extremely uncommon in the majority of the world, therefore many people aren't actually trained in lifting someone of that... girth. So it's kind of an unfair comparison. Pluz the fact that people in underdeveloped countries (not Singapore) have to move patients without the help of any device. Its jut not comparable to the American system.
