- PARAPLEGIC Bed Mobility - How to SIT UP and MOVE without CORE! - Paralife Episode 47
How to sit up and move around on and off the bed with a high level spinal cord injury. This video is aimed at high level paraplegics and low level quadriplegics who have no use of core muscles but do have arm strength. Sitting up and moving around without any stomach muscles can be challenging and is one of the first skills you need to learn after a spinal cord injury. In this video we demonstrate how you can sit yourself up and move around in the bed (or on the floor or any other flat surface) if you have a high level spinal cord injury with limited or no use of core muscles. This is something that you often learn early on in rehab, but through trial and error over the last year, Craig has learnt a few techniques of his own that might make it a bit easier for you.

As a future Occupational Therapy Assistant this was so helpful for future clients
Really great, needed to teach my client how to do this and this helped me understand a lot better :)
We're glad you found it useful 👍😃
Wow this was helpful! I'm a thankful OT today! Always better, coming from someone with practical experience. Stay well.
Thank you so much for these practical tips.
I'm a T4-C and in 4 yr I have never learned most of this stuff.
Awesome I'm trying this, I can't imagine why I didn't think of this before. Thanks
Omg.. Thank you so much!! I'm still a new paraplegic. For the life of me, I just couldn't figure this out... I did it the first test after watching your video!! I feel so accomplished 😁
We're glad it helped! Keep up the good work 😀
Thank you, Craig. I’m healing from an internal abdominal injury. It’s been taking me 40 minutes just to sit up or get off the bed so I think some of your suggestions here will be very helpful. Much appreciated!
Thank you.
Great tips! Thank you so much!
You're welcome! Thanks for watching!
I'm a T6 with just about the same level that you have from the sternum down. I typically use my right arm to pull myself up on the side of the mattress. I'm 6' - 2" and about 200 pounds, which works against you when you're immobile. It was great when I could walk, but now that height only gets in the way. I also sometimes swing one of my arms, using the momentum and weight of my arm to help me sit up.
Thanks for your advice, it's quite helpful! Take care, God bless!
Thank you for your this. Do you recommend a specific mattress?
Hello Craige. I'm quite interested in your video. It's so helpful for many people with SCI in my community. Could I translate your video into Vietnamese for those who cannot understand English. Thank you so much
This will really help once my shoulder heals and I can use both arms again. Thank you so much.
Does anyone know how to move into the proper place in the seat of a powerchair with paralysis from chest down and only one usable arm?
I've been having to sit on my folded spine instead of my rump and it really hurts but I can't find a way to scoot back. I've tried tilting back and using a bar to lift my top half and wiggle, which used to work. We've tried a draw cloth placed under me when I'm lowered into the chair via hoyer lift. They've grabbed my pants and pulled while using their full body weight, plus I'm tilted and leaned forward and wiggling. I was 197 cm before all this and while the muscle has faded and I've done well keeping from gaining weight, I am too big to be light weight and still be healthy. Just some information for anyone wanting to help.
Any help would be appreciated even if it doesn't work out for me. Thank you.
I'm a paraplegic and I have really bottom heavy legs and can't lift the at all or my but so I can't even sit up in bet because I have short arms but I can get up on the edge barely but I still have balancing problem because of muscle spasm any tip on reducing
This is great but not for me as I'm a c8
Vgud but I don't hve trunk control so difficult to manage
Same here, I have no trunk control either so it is hard for me
Although I am a T4 incomplete I am fused from pelvis to C5. I am not very flexible, However I have recently been able to wipe my own butt which was agreat achievement , I am 69 and have been a paraplegic for 2 years. I think that my back is very unique,
Hi I’m new to being a paraplegic 4 months I have trunk control but I’m heavy on my bottom and I have big thighs I am leaving the nursing home in 2 weeks and have such a hard time turning without help I’ll be home by myself for a few days before I can get home care can you give me some advice ?
Hi! Not sure I can say much more than what we covered in the video, but keep working on building up your strength and it will get easier over time. Now I can do way more now than I could when I was 4 months post injury. Maybe make sure to ask whoever is with you to leave things within reach before they leave. Do you have a friend/family member who can be on call if needs be? I've been lucky enough to never be on my own for long periods of time, so sorry I can't help more.
What level are you? I'm c6 incomplete and you have waaaayyyyyyyyy More movement in your upper body than I do you got finger movement a great upper body movement
I'm a T4 complete so I have full movement in my arms, hands and shoulders but nothing at all below my nipples
Ahh ok lol good video btw
Although a great video. Not all that helpful for me,
