Ways to Transfer Patients from Bed to Wheel Chair

COMMENTS
1. Let's get real folks. Never, ever, let a patient place their arms
around your neck, or do what she did at 3:15 in the video. To much chance of
breaking you neck and injuring the patient. I know, I seen this happen to an
RPT once. Confined her to a wheelchair for the rest of her life...
2. the patient is not supposed to hold onto the therapist's neck on 3:15.
pretty dangerous for the therapist
3. That's what I was shocked to see myself. That's an instant fail in my
class.
4. I would like to see this done on an obese person. Much harder...
5. As a student pta, this scares me...her back is rounded the entire
time, the patient cannot see where their going because her head is consistently
on the wrong side, and she placed the patients arm around her neck when it
should have been placed within the gait belt....I stopped the video half way
through because it frustrated me...
6. This is called "Hurt the therapist transfer." Tactile
cues may also be very important to use. The patient may not be able to hear you
when you r in a headlock.
7. Good video except the 3:15 mark for dependent transfer. We have been
taught in school never to let the patient grab your neck or shoulder in this
scenario. Plus, she's completely horizontal and twisting with the patient
(which was just covered at 2:50 or so). Wish there was more video on actual bed
mobility exercises. Have yet to find one.
8. Yeah that looked freaky wrong. Back was rounded and she was getting
her neck torqued on. Why not just block the knees and do a normal stand-pivot?
9. more videos pls. you Physical Therapists and doctors Helps us PT
students to learn more...
10. DEPENDENT TRANSFER NOT ANYMORE IMPLEMENTED AS THIS WILL HURT
THERAPISTS/PTA/CAREGIVERS.
11. We always learned to have the patient look to where they are going.
Here they have the patient look away - seems counter-intuitive.
