My 89-year old mother had a fall that has limited her mobility to one-person-assist. She comes home tomorrow, and I have been worried that I have no clue about how to prevent her from falling again. Thank you.
Demo videos like these would be helpful if the person being transferred actually acted the part completely. Note her feet taking weight and moving as if taking weight.
I understand you completely. My client refuses a gait belt, has dementia, and insist on pulling herself up with a walker. She also leans back with her knees locked. I had her use a rail and someone came whispered I was doing it wrong. I appreciate the help. It makes a bad impression when State is doing a walk through.
It's never ideal to do a transfer without a gait belt. If you're working for a health care facility they usually have a requirement that you have a gait belt on the patient any time you're doing a transfers. Now if you're asking if it's possible to do without a gait belt- you might be able to do it while grabbing on to their pants or their waist. Keep in mind that this video is for demonstration purposes- most time you're doing a stand pivot transfer the person is going to be mostly if not completely dependent, meaning they aren't able to stand up and take steps on their own like in this video. So doing this type of transfer with somebody and not using a gait belt would be pretty reckless.
I am a DPT student reviewing transfers for a comprehensive practical, and this video helped tremendously!
Wow, I’m doing the same thing 10 years later. Haha that’s so cool!
Im an OTA student doing a comprehensive chekoff for transfers and this video really helped! Thankyou!
Also a DPT student reviewing for a practical exam -- really appreciate this video! Thank you!
Great video! Much more helpful than textbook diagrams.
Thankyou for the videos, I am still learning and I am sure at the I will better caregiver.
Thank you for this video!! This helped me a lot for our practicals ❤️

Good, clear instructions
Good video! But pretty sure that is a step transfer considering 1) leg position changed 2) full standing position
That's right
Thank you for the very helpful information!
It is useful
Thank you
Thank you so much
Can I have you as a teacher please!
Bryce Hurd yes

Also, holding the gait belt isn’t good. It’s not stable. Stability would be at the persons waist.
we had a weight limit for caregivers but many of the clients could not help themselves get up so the caregiver ends up lifting

Can this be done without gait belt?
I don't think so, without the belt you don't have a grip to help the patient stand!
I think with bobath technique you can :)

She can walk. Period.
But she can walk
Add: not dead weight with dementia.
