Life Skills: Transferring from your wheelchair

How do you transfer from your wheelchair to other surfaces?
Transfer skills are important and everyone has a different approach! Watch how Kate, Jason and Branka from SCIA's Peer and Family Support Team transfer in and out of their wheelchairs to the bed, couch and the floor.
Visit our Resource Library at library.scia.or... for more information about transferring and how to protect your shoulder function.
Please note that these techniques are unique to Kate, Jason and Branka and may not be suitable for you. Find what works for you and let us know in the comments below!

What kind of brakes do you have your wheelchair?

[@SpinalCordInjuriesAu]

Hi Pattie! It would depend on how much hand and arm function you have, but the breaks you see on these chairs are scissor lock wheelchair brakes.
