http://www.ultimatecaregiversguide.com Part II in this training video by Kevin Lockette, PT is a demonstration of how to safely transfer your patient or loved one from their wheelchair to their bed or other sitting place. By using proper posture and body mechanics you can prevent serious injury that can occur during these types of transfers.
Great hints, especially for a tall caregiver. I think I'd rather use the towel or gait belt!

Kevin - I just purchased your book on caregiving and your book/dvd combo about Parkinson's. My mom has Parkinson's and I hope that she will be willing to move more! She has been losing function. I designed the Ergotrans to assist caregivers to move a patient. Please take a look at it. Give me a call -
