- 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 UA-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
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
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 🙏
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.
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 !
Single best video available to move someone with little to no power
Suddenly this is my world and I'm woefully short on know-how; this video is super instructive and helpful.
Isn't that that the truth ! Same here.
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.'
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
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.
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 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.
Best one video for this transfer that I’ve seen after watching at least 10. Thank YOU 🙏
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
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!!
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. Mom is a stroke patient and we so new to all this.
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.
Best transfer video I've seen... Thank you so much
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.
AWESOME teaching style. Thank you!
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.
Extremely helpful. Wish more medical facilities had this kind of training
This video was SOO helpful! Thank you!
Beautifully done!!!!! Thank you!!!
We have what's called a Sara Steady for transferring my dad. It makes things a lot easier.
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.
This helped me soo much. Thank you!! 🙏🙏
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
Awesome video thx, very helpful as I struggle with wheelchair to bed transfers
Explained very well! Thanks for sharing! ❤️🇺🇸🇺🇸
Excellent demonstration
Thanks alot for sharing your awesome knowledge. Especially all nurses used to hurt their back if they dont use these manuvers
Well done Justin! Simple and can use for caregiver and family training sessions.
Thank you for a great video! Would love to see the footwork too!
Thank you for sharing this! 😊 I found it helpful.
Thank you so much for such a wonderful video
I'm going to show this to my Caretaker. Thank you!
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
Great video, thank you so much, both of you.
Excellent. Thank you.
This was so helpful :) thank you
Best video ever! I truly appreciate it
Brilliant video, totally agree with strong hammies/glutes to make transfer👌🙂
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?
This video was very helpful 🙂🙂👌
Wow that’s really help me thank you❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much!! ❤️
So helpful! Thank you
That helped me a lot thanks man
Thanks for this information!!
Excellent video thanks
Tysm for this informational video☺️
Thanks for this very useful video, Justin!
Thank you for showing easy lift,
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!!!
God bless you brother
Thank you for the video. I am a Caregiver.
she's nice and light. can this be done with a client around 240lbs?
Yes
Very good information
Thanks so much, I need this for my grandma
Great video. Thank you!
Thanks I learned a lot ...
Thank you for this 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Nice Video very helpful
Thank you so helpful
Gait belt?
Amazing Well done 👍
Very nice. Thank you. I have subscribed.
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 😢
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?
Thankyou very much sir!!!
I’m a new caregiver and week two jacked up my back with transfers for a elderly lady
Appreciate it good to know i learn something
Good form
Thank you.
Thanks Justin
THANK YOU!
Thanks for the demonstration. My lower back tends to be sore in general. Will this maneuver place any added strain on it?
Thank you for sharing
still good video 5 years later!
Thank you ☺️❤️😊
Super helpful! Thank you so much!
Thanks have gotten a lesson
You put her wheel chair back in the same spot! And less talking and more acting!. GOD BLESS!
Very good
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
Beautiful 👍
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.
Respect to you
Gracias por la buena información
Thanks bro
Thank you so much, trying to learn this. A bit more detail on the pivot (footwork) would be helpful
I can understand that, my caretakers had a devil of a time with my fool feet. I had no control of them, they splayed in all directions.
This is more realistic than the other videos
Thank you
