Why we know this works

We love this course because as occupational therapy practitioners (OTPs) we consider the sliding board one of the most underused tools in home care: inexpensive, simple, and back saving when used correctly. What does a sliding board actually do? It bridges the gap between two surfaces, like a wheelchair and a bed, so the person slides across instead of being lifted, which makes heavy transfers easier, protects your back, and helps prevent dangerous falls. This video shows you what the board is and exactly how to use it.

It is especially helpful for wheelchair users, people with limb loss, and anyone who can sit up but cannot stand safely for a transfer. A sliding board does require sitting balance and some arm strength, so if your loved one cannot sit at the edge of the bed without support, take the Hoyer Lifts training instead; our Beasy Transfer Board and Wooden Transfer Slide Board are good options when you are ready to buy.
