The systems used in the USA and Canada are classed as "unsafe practice" in the UK and Europe. The latest evidenced based practice can be found in "The Handling of Poeple, 6th ed". (HOP6)

This still requires some lifting either by the caretaker or the patient. For completely lift-free techniques look up Moving Easy, groundbreaking techniques designed for caretaking professionals and individuals at home as well.

Quit the same way of an transfer like in a germany old peoples home. but u must set the bed to your hip height, its better for your back.

@bubupam You know what they say: It is a case to case basis.

[TheWikimapia]

@zensabio the bed used has no standard height. It is electrical. the height can be adjusted.

The patient is in a typical hospital bed, and of course, it has standard height, so bending is unavoidable; I like this demo for starters.

thank you so much madamme!!!

it helps me a lot from my RLE subject..

what do you mean by"logrolling a client, when placing a client in a semi-prone position"????

tnx much!

[bubupam]

will this work for paraplegic patients, where they cannot use their legs?

If this patient is on a profiling bed then why on earth hasnt the physio altered the bed height so she isnt having to bend down and get into a poor posture when she is rolling the patient and when she is raising the top half of the bed? She also twists at the same time. This is a very poor video!

[Katiecakeface]

This is rubbish! The physio is doing techniques with the bed too low for her so she is having to bend in order to do things! How is that looking after your back?!
