    This is the most dangerous way to do a long transfer. If the patient goes down sideways they will take both the caregiver and the patient to the ground. You need to use a gait belt or the back of the pants for center of gravity.

    Are you a caregiver who is exhausted? The Inspired Caregiver book is helpful - it's for the health of the caregiver. I remember having to help my loved one in and out of the car. The wheelchair thrashed the back of my car. Caregiving isn't easy. We need to take care of ourselves. Great advice in this video, especially the help with the care of the caregivers' backs. Thank you for this video!

    all these methods on youtube are unhelpful and assume the person can stand and walk on their own, often using an able bodied person to demonstrate the transfers. How do you move a person who can't stand up or sit up on their own anymore when a hoyer lift is the right thing to use but completely unavailable?

    I’m glad I watched this. I’m going to need to get a transport chair for a friend who can still stand up but whose walking has become very poor.

    Please do same video for SUV. Would you recommend a gait belt?

    This does not talk about if the patient is overweight. My mother is 200 lbs and cannot maneuver herself into a sitting position.

    May work for some, but this would not work for an elderly man who cannot stand, obviously

    The arm rest of the wheel chair always hinder transfer esp for totally not able to stand patients. If the arm rest can be push behind then we can pull the wheel chair along side back door, let the patient sit in a basket, someone inside the car and outside the car can together lift the patient inside or to any location.
