      Hi both of you, I'm a 49 year young first amputated single mom. Missing my left leg above the knee. I'm in revalidation now for 4 months and working on transfers. In and out of bed goes smoothly. The toilet transfer is a thing. How do you take your pants down sitting on the toilet?? I'm going to watch the other 2 episodes also. Thanks for this transfer video. Greetings from the Netherlands.

      With all due respect, you'd be better off having a walk in shower and a chair with detachable or swing away armrests and do the side tranfer, just without the board.

    Hey folks, I'm watching this video after 30 odd years of being paraplegic. When I was young, I did all the transfers as you show in this video. As a I grew old, my shoulders have deteriorated badly. My comment is to tell you something I wish I had known before: check your shoulders' health frequently, because for me it was too late when they detected that I had developed osteoarthritis as a result of age and abuse of my shoulders. Thanks for your amazing channel 🙂

    • @LouBlueable

      Hi. You commented this a while ago, but do you think similar issues may come up for someone on crutches? And is there anything you'd recommend doing/not doing in order to prevent it?

    • @2010ymg
      @2010ymg 4 місяці тому +3

      @@LouBlueable I have no idea about the use of crutches, tbh. I've always been a full-time wheelchair user. I suggest asking a professional if there are some exercises that you can do, or habits you can develop to improve your shoulders' health. Osteoarthritis comes with age and it can happen to anyone. Check regularly your bone density, too. Since you ask, what I do not recommend is to neglect them. Try to keep a healthy weight to make things easier for your beloved shoulders. I hope this helps!

    You make me feel better about just having a amputation. I still have 1 good leg, so transfers are easier for me. Bed is still the hardest for me. You inspire me to keep trying to work harder.

    • @rantalbott6963
      @rantalbott6963 3 роки тому +3

      I'm in a similar situation, having recently had my right leg amputated above the knee.
      While I was in rehab after surgery, I learned to do most transfers by leaning forward to put my CG roughly over my foot, and doing nearly all the lifting and shifting with my remaining leg. The techniques in the video are mostly intended for people with little or no leg function, so they're different. But still handy to know if you're in situations where you can't do nearly everything with your leg.
      When I was in the hospital, I had a chair with flip-up armrests, and transfers are _much_ easier when you can get them out of the way. When I got out, my insurance would only give me a more "basic" chair. with armrests that pop out of sockets instead of flipping. So I've arranged my life such that, as much as possible, I do my transfers with the chair on the left, and I leave the right armrest off all the time.I spend a lot of time on the computer, with my right hand constantly going to my mouse, so I don't really miss it. The one significant drawback is that, if I don't make sure to lift my butt and thighs completely off the seat, I can knock the cushion off.
      When I moved into my apartment (I can't move back into my house until I can make it wheelchair-accessible), I chose a bed that sits on a frame so it's _about_ the same height as the wheelchair seat (the top of the mattress is actually about 4 or 5 inches higher). That makes transfers easier. Since I'm moving to/from a slightly higher plane, I clear the seat cushion and wheel as I go.
      To get into bed, I park the chair so it's not quite parallel to (about a 15-20 degree angle), and not quite touching, the bed. I put my right hand as a fist on the bed, with my wrist straight (better loading than having it bent), about 6 inches from the edge of the bed, and roughly lined up with my knee. Left hand goes on the left armrest. Then I lean forward, lift up, and swing around so my right thigh and most of my butt are on the bed. I'm still using my left leg a little for stability at this point. My right thigh collides with my right hand, but the bed is soft, so it doesn't hurt. After that, I can move to my final destination with both hands on the bed.
      Note that you need to have _some_ traction to make work. I almost always have my shoe on, and things got a little dicey a couple of time when I was only wearing a sock. Also, my bedroom is carpeted, so the wheelchair doesn't try to slide when I'm pushing sideways on it to swing around.

As someone who is an ambulatory wheelchair user due to fatigue, I only recently learnt that people who use wheelchairs due to paralysis even once they're well adjusted to using a wheelchair, still have to use a catheter etc for them to go to the toilet. I feel like thats something that isn't talked about enough and many non wheelchair users aren't educated on!!

    @jackiecosta7620 4 роки тому +4

    a quick tip for Jesi... I purchased some large plastic buckets and make two rows to fill the trunk with your stuff ... back row stuff not used too often and front row close to you for stuff you always use/ keeping a couple buckets empty for shopping items... leave space so you can slide buckets over to pull a bucket from back row... also measure truck space and bring ruler to store ... take time to figure this out... be sure buckets can fit inside each other... consider the trunk door vs the height of front row buckets so trunk will close easily... a little time and planning / a little money to buy the buckets
    Now you will NOT need to get out of your wheelchair to reach something... one of those stick grabber poles to grab a light item in back row might help too .
    lots of idea sharing is a good thing.
    Thanks to both of you for sharing
    with these vlogs...

    I have recently started to graduate to a wheelchair due to the spinal stenosis in my L5 S1. The arthritis is inside of my spinal column and slowly constricting my spinal cord. So now walking any distance or standing, my legs go numb and weak. I chose not to have any surgery because the success rate for my condition is only 50 to 58% and that will only last for a couple of years then the same issues will come back and then more surgeries, so I said no and opted to live with what I got and have a better pain management plan. This video is so helpful for me to practise transfers as my condition deteriorates. Thank you for sharing such a great video!

I was at the store today, and there was a guy trying to get the person behind the deli counter’s attention, and he was in a wheelchair. I got their attention and she was able to help him.

    Great video! I have seen a few videos like this, but yours was very approachable. Often these videos seem quite clinical, even if done by a wheelchair user.
    I can imagine it was quite hard to actually break it down into the movements and not automatically do it quickly. When I learned to drive I had a terrible time learning to park, my instructor was useless. So my father took me to this field where one could practice, they had marked parking bays with tyres. He watched me and analyzed my movements and then how he would do it and was able to teach me easily! I guess your movements have become so natural to you, you had to think about what you are actually doing.
    I have experience pushing mostly elderly people in cheap wheelchairs, and it is quite common now for the adult children to take their parents out on a sunny afternoon to the park(yes, we all miss it!)from the care home. Often they have no clue how to handle a chair, and hardly ever do they have a seat belt on. Drives me crazy! It is so easy to fall out, even just tipping them out whilst going down (forward) a small curb. I know of one incident where the pusher stopped to take photographs, the chair rolled down a slight hill, hit a pebble, tipped the person out, she hit her head and consequently died! Gem Hubbard from Wheelsnoheels did a great video on how to/not to push chair.
    And Andrew, that explosion absolutely nearly gave me a heart attack!

My main problem is getting back in the wheelchair after an epic fall having funky MS leg spasms. I rely on my wife to get a few old wheelchair cushions and and place upto three cushions beneath my butt 1 at a time to build me higher to push back into my chair. Gonna rewatch and get myself back into my chair using your methods. Love indepence and great to see how others do this. Cheers again, brilliant stuff.

    Great video! Love to learn from you and this is really cool! I have some tips on a few of the transfers that help it make easier for me and maybe helps someone else. The first one that helps me is the floor to chair transfer, I push up with my knuckle. Because it makes your arm longer and it can make a difference pushing up that last little bit! Second one is on to bed transfer; when you sit on the bed, it's annoying to grab your legs and put them on the bed. So what I do is, I grab both of my legs at the same time and let my body fall backwards on the bed. That way I use my bodyweight to lift my legs on the bed! You can use the same thing coming out of bed in your chair.

    I'm so very happy to find your blog. I'm also a handicapped person from Philippines. My wheelchair is very heavy. 25 to 27 kilos. Very hard to maneuver. Your wheelchair is only in my dreams. Keep safe always Bro. and Sis. God bless you more.

    One of the best & easy to adapt video I have seen, Thank you to both of you....I use an inflatable bath lift chair which is invaluable in the getting in and out process without having to use the upper torso to take all of the strain which prevents rotator cuff damage.

    Being close to the wheelchair stage. I am currently using a Zimmer frame. I thank you for the demonstrations. You two are fairly young and strong in the upper body to facilitate the transfers. As people age and their overall arm and shoulder strength is depleted there must come a time when additional help is required. You certainly covered the essential daily requirements and it was a most interesting film. Thank you.

    Great video! This answers a lot of questions for me. My wife had a hemorrhagic stroke in July 2020 and has lost a lot of the use of her left side. She is gradually gaining more use and strength in her left side but this video will help me to help her gain more independence. One main thing that you both have that she does not (right now) is core strength. She is overall weaker on both sides after the stroke but her left side core is maybe only 25% of what it was. Thanks for making these videos!

    I wanted to see how hard the floor transfer is from a non injured, pretty fit person perspective. It's hard. I can get my shoulders and hands pretty high up behind me but putting weight on them enough to actually do basically a backwards straight bar dip is tough. My shoulders complained a bit. Also, I noticed that no matter how much I tried to not use my legs at all, I ended up putting weight on them or just using the extra stability from sliding my socks on the floor, almost like a crutch. So yeah, props to you guys that do this everyday, honestly, it's not as simple as it looks.

    Not a wheelchair user, but a CNA. I used to work on a rehab floor, and some of what took place in the video definitely looks familiar. I worked with a much older population, so it was nice to see a video with younger wheelchair users in a different setting. Though I may not be the intended audience for this video, it is helpful.

    I find your channel very informative. I have had to develop all my own techniques for the performing fundamental transfers. I am a double amputee so the legs provide very little support in transferring back to the chair from the floor.
