Thanks so much for using someone who realistically couldn’t fully assist! Very appreciated.

It helps when the client participate in the 'move'. When the client resists or can not help with the move its a different plan.

So I just checked my mother's wheelchair and the arms flip back. I'm new to caretaking and I didn't even know! So you get a like for that tip alone...thanks!

Thank you! My 92 yo mother and I are learning as we go these last 3 years. I had no formal training except KZfaq videos. So far so good! I really appreciated this video, I can see now we both will be better off using a sling belt. MUCH appreciated!

I am mind blown that you can remove the arm of the wheelchair?! How did I not know this!! This will make it so much easier to transfer residents my goodness

SUPER HELPFUL - Thank you so much for this video. I am a Caregiver with Discovery Village in SWFL... (assisted living) and I must tell you. I am 50 years young. I married at 14, I took hold of my paraplegic man to a husband that stood tall at 6'2" to my 5'3"...Yes, I transferred using gate-belts, (green belts) from Wheel Chair to Bed, in and out and wheel showers and chairs. (RIP/Hubby 2011) I learned so young but it's the best to brush up on new techniques to ensure all Caregivers have the proper learning ways. All of your residents will not be the same. "TED" was a "SUPER-STAR" He helped with the process. Some residents that may have fallen due to a stroke, could have PTSD and will "GRIP" so hard to the surfaces while trying to move him/her. That's a complicated one and there, you need to request a back-up. If you feel like you need back up... "Get it!" It's the best feeling to go to work, Help all and do all that we can for ANYONE. - Stay safe my Friends! TIP: Use your knees, not your back and don't forget... ASK for Assistance with tough individuals. - Thank you Mr. Ted

Thank you for this short video. As a hospice RN, this was a great refresher on proper technique to safely transfer patients.

Thank you so much. I realize I have been doing it wrong and my back is killing me. I will be purchasing a belt. The crazy thing is I have that wheelchair for my mom and didn't even know the handrest could be moved. I learned somethibg new today.🙂🙂🙂

Looks like you lifted with the belt.If you reach around the patient and grasp the belt with the hands approx,5 inches apart then you use your forearms to grasp the pt.,you have their wt on your arms and not on the belt.You use the belt as an anchor point for your hands and have you arms more under the rib cage on both sides.27 yrs as a PTA in Nursing homes and Home Health.Worked for me.

thank you for using Ted! Much more realistic for we carers who have to understand how to do it with a family member who is not able to do much in the way of assisting. My wheelchair side cannot be removed...sigh. Hello Ted!!

PERFECTION! Kudos to Ted for helping out!!!🌸

This is fabulous. Thank you for sharing. I will try with my husband who has dementia.

Thank you Ted for helping. what a sweet smile.

THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH FOR SHARING YOUR EXPERIENCE. TED, YOU'RE A NATURAL!!!! SMILE FOR THE CAMERA.

Thank you Ted...and Thank you guys for this video...Helped me to learn how to use the gait belt at home for my elderly mother

Excellent refresher Jeff. Thanks brother (Brian, Thelma and Ted also!)

Ted is the real MVP 👏🏼

Great video. There’s only couple things I would add. I know they did do this in the video, but please articulate the importance of locking manual wheelchairs and turning off power chairs prior to transfers. Also, I find it easier to slide one hand under the back of the belt and the other hand under the front of the belt for transfers.

Awesome video, everyone! Well done and thanks so much! God bless!!!

You know whats funny- I figured this technique out myself just from being in the situation of caregiver. It just made things easier. I’ve gone to dr appts and the dr and or nurses can’t figure it out- so I step in to show how we transfer. To me this is common sense with the situation Im in and Im no nurse or PT. I’m shocked when hospitals don’t know what to do. It really blows my mind what Ive figured out and seen on and what Im capable of as a caregiver- with NO experience whatsoever until I was thrown into this role.

Thank you so much! Great video! I will be sharing with my agency.

You guys are wonderful, thanks.

Excellent demonstration!!

Best transfer video EVER!

Thanks Ted! You're amazing

You are a professional person great thanks

Very helpful video...thanks for sharing. Flo

Thanks ted!

Amazing Jeff

thanks for the tutorial

Awe Ted is So Cute Thanks for the Vidio!! ❤

Thank you!!

Excellent thanks

Good info!

Hi Ted. Great job. Only thing need to be added is how to put on the belt. Great great video ❤❤❤

ted u're great!

This is super helpful, but I'd love to see an assist with a wheelchair where the armrest CAN'T be removed. The chair I have for my mom the armrests are not foldable or removable.

Super helpful

Thank you 😊

Very helpful

Im going to try this..hope my back wont hurt anymore

thanks so much!

Do you have a video for someone who does not assist. the person can't move to the edge of the chair . and also recommendations for equipment assit to consider to get?

In more clinical settings, we don't recommend grasping the transfer belt under patientss arms, leaves you susceptible to being grabbed or hit

awww..Mr.Ted is so cute,beautiful smile,love by so many. this is my husband's yt account. I just want to say hello Mr.Ted,and also thank you to all people who made this video.

Best 👌 video ever wow

Thanks

Do you have a video for a Wheelchair transfer to a car?

Great video! However, it seems really easiest when the patient can help. My situation is a man taller than me (I’m almost 6 feet tall), he doesn’t move his lower body and he can’t help with hands. Also, he can’t get by the edge of the chair by himself. In another words, all the process of transferring him relies on my technique, which is where I am struggling a bit.

Nice

How do you transfer one that have some leg usage to the toilet

Good

How do transfer patient who is bed ridden and cannot stand without support from the bed and onto the wheel chair

What if patient has 60lbs more weight than Ted? Any tricks or contraptions I can use? Below knee amputee right leg, and weak left leg.

WAS THE MUSIC THAT COMPULSORY ?

What’s the position of your legs vs their legs

Thank you. As others said, already a real patient is helpful. Do you have any advice for breast cancer patients? The belt slips up and can be very painful. My sister is coming here after MD Anderson, and I need to help her get around to the bathroom, etc. While she looks for an assisted living rehab facility. Her breast cancer spread to her brain. Twice and the first surgery left her paralyzed on the right side of her body. So she can use her left side. My house is so small it might as well be a tin can. Very narrow everything. The bathroom door is only two feet wide. She's 5 feet and 160 lbs. I'm 166 lbs. but I'm 5'7. Which is a big difference. My husband and kids are males. So I need to get her at least 20 feet to the bathroom. My back ain't the best as is. Any advice would be great.

I have a client that didn't move at all what are so tips on that and he is about 250 or more

❤❤❤❤❤❤

Good video, but I thought this was supposed to be about gait belt transfers from the title.

What if the person is wearing a non weight bearing cast

If the person don’t walk ?

Easy

My mom recently broke her back and trying to get her to doctor appointments is a nightmare because I have a truck and I'm not a young guy anymore and have the strength I once did. Medicare won't pay for any type of device to make it easier to load her and she's very weak in the legs and can't really help me and I basically have to pick all weight up.

🤩❤

What would you do With the patient who 170 lbs and you are 120 lbs caregiver?

What if the patient put all his weight and does not help you cause he is heavy what the easiest way to move him

In the uk, we r not allowed to use this manual handling.

Can i see video without gait belt ,u don’t find it when doing home care

My problem is that I can't slide forward. So my son lifts me from the bed, to the potty, back to the bed. He also holds me up while I pull my bottoms down to use the potty. My legs and feet are pretty much useless. I have muscle atrophy.

Now, let's see that again but with a 270 pound patient and a PT that doesn't look like a 36 year old body builder.

How do you do that without ripping your lower back out?

Hello si❤

Wthat is de use of the belt? I didnt see?

What if the patient can't reach over to a seat like this man was able to do. What about patients who can not help at all?

How about a patient that is taller and heavier than the caregiver?

If they introduced these techniques at my job I would get my handbag and coat and go home and report them to CQC.

We need a video where they patience with Alzheimer do not follow instrucción please and has cero mobility

Ok but assisted living homes should not have total care residents!

Usually women who are doing the lifting. What if they weight 300 pounds? It just can not be done. I would break my back trying to lift someone like that. Personal Care Homes and nursing homes it's usually women who work there not very many men , lifting people is very difficult without a Hoyer lift. Not worth hurting your back for what we are paid.

Please

This patient requires assistance of 2 . Additionally you can use Sara steady standing aid to protect your back. Careful friends do not attempt transfer like this video.

Shouldnt the wheel chair be placed on the strong side?????? The wheel chair with pt in it is placed on the strong side to the stuffed chair, but from the stuffed chair to the wheel chair u placed the wheel chair on his weak side and expected him to balance himself in his weak side, he grabbed the wheel chair armrest with his paralyzed hand?????this is grossly incorrect guys Transfers are done with the strong side going to the chair, from bed to chair or chair to chair or back to bed, they lift themselves from the strong side????

Well that's all good for moving someone like Ted , he's like 80lbs soaking wet , how about getting the 350 lb patient and showing us this zip zip move
