I've been caring for my father who uses a wheelchair. I would agree with everything except having them use the arm rests to lift up. When dad uses the armrest to lift up, he refuses to let go. I've had situations where I'm trying to get him to take a few steps forward once standing up out of his chair, and he's dragging the wheelchair behind him, maintaining a death grip on the rests. It doesn't matter how many times I tell him to let go. I have to peel his fingers off. Instead, I wear a harness with handles and try to get him to hold onto those as I am moving him around. I can then transfer his hands to something else (the door, the seat, etc) to hold onto once I have him in proper position.

Great video. We watched and then my husband and successfully moved from the wheelbuggy to the couch.

Very informative. Thank you so much. I transferred from a wheelchair to a seated walker. Have improved strength and mobility. Thanks again.👌🙂

Thank you so much for this video/guidance/teaching...🤗

Thank you so much for putting this video on youtube.

Awesome! Thank you I'll be using this in my line of work. (Very detailed and shown step by step).

Very informative, thanks. I'm a caregiver and I have my first wheelchair bound client, that likes to go out alot, whilst he can stand on his own, I will have to help him into and out of seats.

Hope my wife keeps lifting weights, to have the strength to help with my transfers. Or, I could give up daily ice cream now, and help out myself.

How about transferring an amputee? That's the dilema I'm facing

Do you think the Hospital care aids help people get in and out of cars no

How to pick someone up from the floor.

only works if person in wheelchair is skinny like this. try moving an obese person.

gait belts do not guarantee they won't fall. If they have end-stage Alzheimer's they go into a "fall mode" -- their legs go limp--and will not help and they can go down..on the concrete. The fall belt may help break the fall, but it still will happen. For some people it is not safe to put them in a car. However, if you have the money, you can spend thousands of dollars on assist devices such as lifts

thats why you should ask the head nurse wether or not there is any reason to not use a gait belt any time you transfer a patient
