This transfer is perfect!!! I have looked at so many & this is by far the best! Thank you so much for sharing. I will continue to pass this home to help others.
This is a great instructional video. What if the patient is a larger or heavier person? Are there additional steps or tools that can be used to help with a comfortable transfer. Also, could you show the transfer back from the wheelchair to the bed.
This was the most helpful video I've watches on this subject. Thank yoh very much.
This is helpful for a smaller person like this lady but it’s gonna be the struggle for a much heavier individual
InstaBlaster
So true my mom is heavy and it is very difficult to lift her
Thank you 😊..I found this video useful for practice in Australia age care center..I am Indian Physio..Thanks for sharing..
Thank you very much - This will help in the care of a relative
Thank you for posting your technique!
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.
Thank you for the advice on the book .I'm not a caregiver but my dad had a stroke recently and I need all the tittle help I could get
Very informative! Thx!
This video is very helpful, thanks a lot. Hope you can also show how to do it with overweight patient.
If you are required to lift more that 35lb, you will be using a lift
Great video!!!!
I have a grandma who's left side is paralyzed this is a great help
I’m a stroke survivor myself. I suffered from Ischemic stroke 2 years ago. but life goes on keep fighting stroke survivors.
My father is suffering , how did you get better? Any tips?
@@wiseliving9927 they don't get better if they dont try to get better. if they are lazy and don't do exercises then expect them to be how they are for the rest of their lives ....
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.
No chance to lift when a patient's are overweight 😓😓
Very well done! Only thing is that the chair is way too wide for her so she can't sit secure there.
I agree!
always use gait belt
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.
How to transfer the patien into wheelchair t if she is paralyzed on right side of shoulder and legs.and the Patient is 250lbs? With swollen legs and foot?
Problem is if it is a very large and obese patient, you cant do this
Elmari du Toit that’s when a hoyer lift of some kind is very necessary.
yes..it's true..
you can do it for light weight patient but if 75 to 80 kilos how to lift like that...😮😮😮😮
If not under the neck when lifting a patient to sit, how can we support the head?
Ooo wow mind blowing
Hi any tips on how to get a elderly off the ground? I saw some videos on UA-cam but my mother is uncooperative
Faltou o sinto ( belt ) na minha experiencia colocaria a mao direita sobre o ombro dela para melhor caminhar e o paciente sentira mais segura como de fato isto e' seguranca. 10 anos de experiencia sao suficientemente muito bom para executar um otimo trabalho.
Ronaldo Miranda !! Bom dia Ronaldo também acho que faltou, mas eu acho que valeu muito a dica porque nem sempre as pessoas tem o cinto em casa ,
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!?
can you show a larger patient..... not every elderly person is small and easy to lift. what if caregiver is smaller than the patient??
You need to use the slide board. It would be more easier.
This method can't use to me I'm a bed ridden and my legs feet paralized since I am cancer patient have big tumor in my left breast so my Mr have a hard time to carry me to transfer to my wheel chair is not arm removable my back is sore and my ribs
Put on the belt as well for a very secure position of patient while sitting,other wise they will fall down on wheelchair..
i am tetraplegic and my assistente make equal.
They didn't say which side is the affected side
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.
manual lifting is never safe...use a sit to stand lift and to reposition in bed with 90% less pull force use a hovermatt
Ms. Swan?
where is the gait belt!?
Gait belts aren't always indicated, but they can be a big help. It is better to use clinical judgment in every situation to determine whether or not a gait belt is the best option.
Need a gait belt
No shoes?!? Not even grippy socks? No bueno.
Ibu saya kena strok
She is pretty easy
No seat belt , before moving off
Where are the shoes

Must the cna in America do not want to assist you.
my boss very big size,got stroke half body....can't move,can't stand....if i do by this way sure we fall together....
more better both of us safety belt....more comfortable for the patient to....
Puji Java not necessarily, if done right with excellent execution, you have minimal risk of injuries. There are nurses that I have seen to carry patients 4-5 times their size and they are fine. Ask the medical staff to train you.
Shez Hooz ya.....the medical stuff ask me to use transfer belt for my akong,and saffety belt for me.....that very important for big size patient.....
You mean if I am 50 kg I can carry a 90 kg all by myself?
Khee Seah if 90 kg small size still ok ma.....hahahhaha
Gait belt is not good for immobile and old people!
HƯỚNG DẪN DỞ QUÁ TỚI TÔI DẬY CHO.
Not once did I see a gait belt. That's what Americans use. I am definitely not lifting a patient with a wet bottom with my hands. Gloves or not they can slip out of my hand.
are you a health professional or are you a joke? hard to tell.
I wish these videos would USED actual patients with the disability, such as a STROKE patient, instead of a staff person "pretending" to be disabled... not genuine enough!!
Sad, not realistic. Though the techniques are usable.
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.
An assistant for a 120 lb patient? Huh laughable. That never happens irl.
