- Here are a few basic transfers I do, with a spinal cord injury, on a daily basis. If you have any other video suggestions, leave them in the comments below!

You do an excellent job!! You look like a C 5/6 quad which makes t things you do all the more remarkable.
I'm a T 6/7 para sinne 1980. I got married in 1991 and have two boys who are now grown men. We celebrate 26 years of marriage on June 15.
I lost my right leg 3 years ago due to an infection in metal artificial bone from a badly treated broken leg in 2008. Losing that leg throws my balance so it was like going back to square one. So, even though I've been at this way longer than you're alive, you've inspired me and taught me that it can be done. Thank you!!
Wow! You just made my day, if not my week! I am a c5/c6 quad, you're right lol. Congratulations on everything you've achieved and your anniversary
All thanks go to you!! You've cracked a tough nut with strength and grace. Keep on keepin' on!
Your power chair is very interesting. What brand? I obviously use a manual. Quickie. They've managed to really mess up a good product bc they are geared towards men in that most are solid body where you have to take it apart to get in the car. I'm not going to ruin my manicure doing that!!!! Plus the footplates aren't remotely conducive for heels. Tragic if you ask me!!! 😉

I don't see how a c5/6 quad could do a bowell routine like that, maybe im a pussy, lol.......im c7 and couldn't accomplish it that way
she looks so comfy with hers legs up i love it
It reminded me of L
Hi Tiffani. I actually dont have any disease or any kind of paralysis. But i randomly found you when feeling down but when I watched your story and some other videos it really helped me realize that even when i feel i have lost everything i am shown that there are things about my life i should be thankful for and not take for granted. You're an inspiration and brave to tell your story and open up your life to the world. Keep up the good fight and dont ever let the negative People drag you down. Take care.
This has made me appreciate that I can manage with ease even the simplest of tasks in life. Very Inspiring! X
I've noticed scrolling down the comments that during her demonstrations in her bathroom that there were no dumb inappropriate comments. I'm impressed by that in itself
Everyone understands she doesn't feel anything below her waist, so she isn't worthy as a girl, so nobody tries to pick her up in the comments.
Vincent Pride are you ashamed of yourself when you wake up in the morning?
@@VincentPride1986 You're disgusting
Vincent Pride I feel so sorry for you.
Vincent Pride I understand that you’re trolling. But the fact that you could even type that vile thing means that you’re a truly pathetic and completely miserable person.
That’s no joke having to do this move.
I was in the ER after a car wreck. I was lucky, no real injuries.
While I was there there was a lady in her 70’s in the next area of the ER who had slipped going from her wheelchair to the toilet. She fell and broke her hip.
So I lay there unable to move because I was immobilized on one of those boards in case my neck and or back was broken and I could only listen to what was going on around me. I’ll never forget that lady screaming in pain every 30 seconds in followed by her apologizing for suddenly screaming out.
It was like “ OWWWWW OH MY GOD” really loud followed by a really quiet through obvious tears in her voice...” sorry.....sorry....”
Im not an expert in any sense on this topic but you look really stable and fluid making the transition. You obviously have had a lot of practice over the years.
thats why its so important that every public restroom should be handicap accessible.
@Skeptical Plague Doctor amen
I was just thinking how much it sucked to be self isolating and feeling sorry for myself,,and after watching this I realize I have it so good...God is great and bless this woman and the trials she bears
You are such a beautiful young girl and so inspiring. What you are doing sharing your story and life are nothing short of remarkable. I think about all the people you will help with your bravery and selflessness. My 26 year old daughter has a chronic illness which leaves her bedridden most of the time needing my care. I’ve shared your clips with her and encouraged her to share her story to help others. Stay strong sweeti and God bless.
My ex-boss is a quadriplegic, he became paralyzed in the rodeo. He was like a father, one of the toughest guys I've ever met. He helped me way more than I helped him.
Anyway, love the video. You are truly an inspiration to many.
My first thought upon watching this video is, she's so pretty.
Simp and inappropriate

I don't know how I stumbled across this video, but my friend just lost the use of her kegs in a car accident and this video has helped her so much learning to get back into daily life. Thank you!
I don't know how I came across this video but you radiate positivity ❤
You are truly an inspiration to mankind, bless you and may the wind be behind your sails
did she delete all other videos from her channel? I hope she is doing well.
I was wondering that too. 🥺
You're amazing Tiffani, I know you'll probably not want to say so but you really honestly are. I cannot imagine where you've had to go to mind wise, to then get yourself here, to the other side the way you have, just, God bless you. I know none of us know how we'd deal with some things in life for sure but Tiff you're unbelievable and it needs to be said. You're special and you're awesome. Tons of love from the UK ❤.
I pray too everytime I transfer to the shower ;)
haha it works!
She's amazing! I'm a Quadriplegic and transfer using assistance, but I'm standing on my own and able to walk with a walker.
Love you!!
You guys are so positive it's inspiring. Makes me appreciate myself a lot more, gob bless you all.
You're sooo pretty....damn😉😘😘😘😘😁
That chair looks really cool! I had no idea quadriplegics could be this independent. Also, you seem really nice :) thanks for the video!
With arms, yes. You can be pretty independent since most of what we do relies on our arms and hands. Misleading title, tbh. But this is good for people who are like her and still have use of their arms.
Jessie James she is a quadriplegic actually, quad just means that the arm are affected too (which hers clearly are if you look at the quad-typical semi-fisted hand movements and muscle wastage from limited nerve activity).
There are two types of paralysis, complete and incomplete depending on how severely the fractured vertebra damaged the spinal cord. And the second categorisation is quadriplegic vs paraplegic -quadriplegic meaning they have had a break in their neck (c-spine) which will affect both their arms and legs at that level. And paraplegic being anywhere below the neck (T-spine will paralyse chest down, and L-Spine will paralyse approx waist-hip down). So from that level the person can then have a complete (meaning fully damaged. No nerve conductivity
, full paralysis), or incomplete (meaning small movements or medium movements with intensive physio over a long time).
Incomplete spinal cord injury patients can lose their movement (like this girl who previously had more movement from Physio, before breaking her leg and having to stop for a few months). It takes a lot of work to activate those nerves and get the movement she has in her upper body, despite still being a quadriplegic. Were she to stop her physio her nerves would essentially give up and she would be in full paralysis until going back through intensive Physio as an incomplete quadriplegic.
Most quadripegics can use their arms but not their fingers. Do some research please.
Lucia Why? That came off as really rude, by the way.
"When dealt lemons make lemonade"
Very inspiring and what a great attitude! Stay YOU! 😘
I thought quadriplegic meant all 4 limbs were paralyzed. You're moving your arms beautifully 👍🏼 and I love that color sweater on you xo
Your Ego Quadriplegic means all 4 limbs are affected, doesn't mean all 4 limbs are paralysed. I believe her arms and hands are affected.
SNSD TIL
I was thinking the same.
SNSD they are indeed affected, she keeps them in a fist. More power to her.
This lady has an incomplete injury....this is why she's able to do as much as she can. .. The difference between complete and an incomplete injury is...complete injury is where you spinal cord is severed at the injury level....incomplete injury is where your spinal cord is damaged but still somewhat functions. I have a C5-C6 incomplete injury. I can walk short distances with the aid of a walker.
god damn amazing, i cant believe how many people are out there with spinal cord injuries. it really makes me reevaluate what im doing with my life. cant commend you enough for your bravery and perseverance, kudos
Thank you very much 😍
oh my gosh I'm so sorry you hurt your foot like that! thank you for sharing I personally really appreciate all of the motivating you can do it videos out there so thank you for sharing your experience
I would be so proud to be a relative or friend of yours. Your resilience and sheer strength is a real eye opener for me. Your so down to earth with your attitude . You keep slaying girl and be sure to kick the cancers arse. You still look incredible while be sick and rocking your new hair cut. I hope you are proud of yourself ❤❤❤❤
thank you
I also have a disability called spastic dyplegia , it's when the muscles have a lot of spasm. I have trouble bending my knees. God bless you and your family.
Bless you! I'm sure you have inspired a lot of people with your videos and give them hope! Great work.
Hey, why did you take most of your videos off of youtube?
WOW you are so beautiful. I admire your strength inside abd out. Just Gorgeous xx
UA-cams algo led me here...im confused why im here but also interested.
Same bro
Maybe one day this will be useful for us and youtube just knows it somehow

I was like holy crap you are FLYING on that thing before realizing that my playback speed was at 2x. I know this is from a while ago but still this is amazing progress.
I was 8 when my mom had a diving accident and broke her c6/c7. She is also classified as a quadraplegic but was originally diagnosed to not be able to move from the neck down, but with some miracle she got some use of her arms and hands back and feeling in her legs. I'm now her carer and I have been for the last 8 years ❤ I only just found your channel and I think your videos are really insightful and inspiring. Lots of love from South Africa ❤
"I keep my legs up because..."
Honestly, that makes perfect sense to me. That's my most comfortable position.
Kinda sucks she disappeared without a word. Like her last message was a comment saying her laptop or camera was broken or something and that she would replace it....and no signs of life ever since.
Like I get she doesn't owe complete strangers anything but just saying "hey UA-cam is not for me anymore, I'm going to remove my vids and live life privately" we'd all get it.
But just disappearing makes me worried. Her account on select models is still present so I think she's alive. I hope so anyway.
She's still on Instagram. Wish she didn't delete all the videos, her story is so good.
You are an inspiration- I am looking at the blessings I have in another light
I feel sad that so many people are obsessing over her diagnosis and not what a great learning tool this could be for those with similar disabilities. This woman has worked hard and Im so glad to see her sharing the knowledge/skill she has gained with others.
hi. Your wheelchair is one of the most useful i have seen!!
Why you delet all you videos
My goodness......you are very impressive....I hope you can serve many people....there aren't any words to describe you.....I guess wonderful....a blessing for so many....thank you....I wish I could return the blessing....wow....yours in Christ,steve
She’s so pretty
That was cool thank you! Scott Downing man of God, cross-country truck driver out of Bakersfield California
Thankyou. I hate my body somedays and I forget to be thankful for the small things. I may not be a socially exceptible size but I cam get around without a wheelchair and I can get into a bath. You are an inspiration. Thankyou.
You are so brave - so hard to watch but you are so brave to share your story and your plight! My emotions were all over the place watching this - sad / happy / impressed / and encouraged .
Missing your videos, hope your doing well
I clicked on the video because she is pretty and I was curious. I just want to say after reading the comments and seeing and feeling the strength and courage of this community I am awestruck. God bless you all. jw
Somebody knows why this channel dosnt have all the content it used to ? Why the videos disappeared ?
She said she's doing good. she just doesn't want to share her life anymore.
@@MayurKulkarniI am going to miss her dearly 😢
Wow.. you have so much strength!!.. I have MS and can't even get out of bed and you make it look so easy!!.. very positive! Thanks for sharing! :)
Took years of practice to make it look this easy lol, wishing you the best
My mother became brain damaged and a paraplegic after a car accident in 1973. God bless you.
God bless you I can’t imagine what you go through on a daily basis
OMG how expensive was that chair!?! That is a damn Porsche!
It looks great but I've had so many problems with it :/ I've actually gone through 5 of them in 1 year because they kept having such bad problems I needed to swap them with new ones..
5 chairs in 1 year is crazy, my son has muscular dystrophy and he gets a new chair maybe once every 3/4 years and then we have to fight to get it off our o.t. , we're in Ireland
My insurance covers only every 5, but if there's an issue with the chair (and I've had that happen..improperly fitted for a chair- nightmare!) we have to go through doctor to request new chair & so many hoops!
@Spolek Kvadru this is not typical in America trust me she must have some Platinum level Insurance
my insurance didn't pay for anything. i saved up for this chair, thank you very much.
I had to do that for over a year when I had my car accident. I feel your pain when I comes to transfers. I was lucky to come out of the wheelchair and get back on my foot.
Miss your videos.
viele können sich an ihr ein Beispiel nehmen diese wundervolle Person verdient großen Riesen Respekt 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Can you please make one video about your story(What type of injury do you have? What happend?When did you become disabled?...)Btw you are great, and i can't wait another video! :)
And please can you give us something to stay in tuch,like an E-mail or something
check out my blog at thewheeltiffani.com ! it explains my whole life basically lol. you can add me on fb and message me.. @ Tiffani Ntanos
and thank youuu!! Xo.
She's amazing! I'm a Quadriplegic and transfer using assistance, but I'm standing on my own and able to walk with a walker.
It might be too personal. I can't speak for anyone other than myself but how I became paralyzed nearly 40 years ago was tragic and very hard to talk about. It really doesn't matter, to me anyway. I am who and what I am. Knowing my greusone back story would only give someone nightmares. Just take folks as they are
That chair has that 80s/90s futuristic vibe to it. It's something I'd expect to see in Back to the Future or The Last Starfighter.
you so pretty!!!!! like i can’t stop looking at you😭😭😭
I work in Disability service, am gaining more experience through your video
God bless you.
Gracias x compartir aquí no cuento con nada de eso para mi hija 🙄 pero mirando tu video podré hacer adaptaciones de acuerdo a lo q ella requiere ... en un futuro quiero q sea independiente como tu ❤❤❤
Gorgeous woman , God Bless you . I wish you all the best sweetheart ❤️
You're a rockstar! I've had to many health issues recently so it's made me really weak so my husband has to help me do transfers now. You're wheelchair is awesome but mine is a manual.
You are so beautiful! You look like a model and you're such an inspiration! A beautiful inspiration. You're helping many people who are dealing with life obstacles. And that's a lot of people! Xoxo
Awwwww thank you so much for the sweet words girl & you're beautiful as well! Xo
Thank you! :) Xo
Admirable what you do, bravo. One bit of advice. I suggest you look into an electric bidet seat. Companies like Toto and Brondell are highly recommended. Place it on top of your existing toilet. It will tremendously help you.
Where did all videos go?
I love your chair! thanks for showing these transfers.. I have a son with special needs whom i have to transfer as he can't do it by himself.
Did she pass away?
no, probably is active on instagram but won't accept new followers.
Thankyou for sharing... I will keep you in my Prayers...
Wishing you a delightful Summer

wow that a weird looking power wheel chair
You are really inspiring, you have an amazing attitude and you are really funny, I'm pretty sure you are helping a lot of people by sharing this thank you so much, damn I really wish I could help everyone that has any problem
Apologies for a bit more personal question. But transferring onto the toilet does that mean your bladder works or do you do ICPs?
my bladder works thankfully
Tiffani Ntanos thank you for the quick reply ☺ I'm crossing my finger that my bladder tunes back in! Really like your videos, thanks for sharing. Wondering if you could do a video on how you put your makeup on. ✌🏻
Wow she’s so good at transferring herself! That’s amazing
You’re such a beautiful and strong woman. ❤️❤️❤️
This is the first time I watched your videos. And May I say. You're Amazing 😍😭❤💎 Lord Bless Your Soul. You are beautiful and so strong and remarkable 💎❤You have more determination than many. this video honestly made my day ❤🌈 I Love Your personality and determination ❤💎💞
Are her legs heavy? I know when one of my arms fall asleep and I have to pick it up its really heavy, so I couldn't imagine a leg.
TheSisterlyBloom It's dead weight, but she is skinny and has no muscles so I wouldn't think that heavy. I worry about her weight sometimes.
shes mentioned that she has a stomach condition called gastroparesis - hence the weight issue
God bless you sweetheart! Your vid came up on my feed. Watching From Scotland🏴😀
Awesome transfers! I'm at C-5/6 quadriplegic and that's what I'm working on right now. Do you have any of Abdominal muscles?
yeah I have some abdominal use, not 100% but still... :) wishing you the best!!
My God girl. You are amazing. Truly amazing. I don’t know you but I love you!
proud of you tiffani to get through what happened to you must have taken so much courage and inner strength your such a inspiration
thank you love
I woke up one night with a totally numb hand because I had slept on it and I was in such a panic that I can't even imagine how it must feel to go throughwhat you 're going through. Thanks for sharing and if you can, ,go watch Dr. Morse 's videos on cancer. They are absolutely amazing!
Where did you go 😩
God bless you !!
May he give you strength always !!
Muito linda! Ótimo vídeo ;)
very impressed on how you can transfer yourself. Keep up the positive attitude :-)
That’s a nice ass wheel chair
You are very fucking amazing and pretty😊keep being who you are please, because you are perfect. Im also a spinal chord injured💪🏼. Im very happy I found your channel✅
Video length of 4:20. Coincidence? lol. Nice vid, you make it seem easy. What will you film next?
LOL! Thanks! I have a few ideas, anything in particular you'd like to see?
Well you've covered transfers already. Maybe a vid on shoes if they are problematic. Noticed you have spasms, maybe you could show what triggers them or how you deal with them? Perhaps manual chair transfers. Btw, when you broke your leg when you caught your foot, could you feel it or how did you find that out? Terrible situation it must have been.
Great ideas, thank you! was also thinking about a "how i paint my nails" lol.but umm, i have full sensation, so when my tibia broke I felt everything. It sucked, but I'm ok now!
Oh damn, that would be a terrific vid. Maybe you could roll a spasm and pedicure combo into one session lol. Ouch that was probably some painful shit. Glad to hear you've healed wonderfully! The possibilities are endless with this series you're creating. I'm sure you have thoughts brewing :)
Yes I have tons of thoughts brewing! Lol
Your so pretty !!!
Both attractive and legitimately inspiring.
such a beautiful soul, be healed in Jesus name , amen .
All of a sudden my problems seem so small. Cool video and good on you for being so positive. Id be a mess trying to do half the stuff you make look so easy lol. ✌
another beautiful video from gorgeous lady:)you move around so so easy:)
Randomly this showed up on my feed. Don’t know why but I’m extremely happy to not find any hurtful or offensive comments here. Guess there are still decent people out there.
can you do a floor to chair transfer?:)it's sometimes really problematic
or something with your hand, i have a friend that is quadriplegic and she can't really control her hand. thx and this is a lovely video :))
I actually don't know how to do a floor transfer yet, something I'm still working on! But, I will deff do a video on hand control :)
Thank u and keep on the hard work! you're amazing~
Thank you!! Xo
Incredibly pretty. So strong
Hello! I'm very ill informed to spinal injuries, I was wondering if you still maintain the title of a quadriplegic after gaining use of limbs that were once paralyzed? Just hoping someone could explain since I thought a quadriplegic had no use of any of their limbs. Thanks in advance
Marissa it just means that all for limbs are affected. They don’t have to be completely paralyzed
Jeanette Quintana thank you! That makes sense, I was very confused
i just asked the same thing. should have scrolled down first.
It depends on the injury location and how many are affected. Like 1 person can be a quad because it was from neck down, she has some mobilty in her arms. While person 2 is a para from the waist down, with ill function legs. It varys and some people can walk despite being para or a quad.
An injury at the location of the cervical (i.e., upper) spine in a patient like Tiffani leads to paralysis of the medial (AKA "inner") arms/fingers -- hence she lacks control of Digits IV and V (AKA "ring-finger" and "pinky"). Christopher Reeve, in contrast, had an injury higher up the cervical spine -- C1-C2 -- which is why his paralysis was (nearly) total, why he required a respirator, etc.
Big respect from Saudi Arabia
Amazing.
I've always wanted to know how people did it independently.
Thanks 😀😀
You must have to get the smallest jeans 😂 that must be hard because you are tall and skinny
You have no idea how hard finding long skinny jeans is.. lol
How about finding jeans to fit my natural leg and my prosthetic leg (aaalll the way up!) plus accommodate my para gut!! And I won't shop in the Old Lady department. Not my style!!!
Not sure why this came up in my recomended videos, but you are so impressively possitive and independent, and a beautiful person. (Whats with all the creepy stalker type comments though??)
I thought quadriplegic was all 4 limbs..? ur paraplegic? or have I been misinformed>.< lol
Yes, you have been miseducated on this subject. Quadriplegia is when all 4 limbs are affected. Which it took years of physical therapy to be able to use my arms as I can. My hands only have 10% function. That would make me a quadriplegic.
good to know thanks!
Hayley Williams yea but it's not necessarily common knowledge....
Tiffani Ntanos 10 only percent hand function wow. How on earth did you manage to do your hair and make up soo perfectly??
Get well soon
