Why we know this works
Why we know this works
We love this course because as occupational therapy practitioners (OTPs) we spend much of our stroke rehab time undoing transfer habits that helpers learned by guessing. Which side do you help from after a stroke? In most cases you set up the transfer toward the stronger side while guarding the weaker one, and details like that are exactly what this video teaches: the facts about helping people with stroke, plus specific tips and techniques to move a stroke survivor safely, with less worry and less lifting.
It is especially important for families bringing a loved one home from stroke rehab, when moves between bed, wheelchair, toilet, and car happen many times a day. If your loved one cannot bear weight through their legs at all, start with the Transferring Folks Who Can't Bear Weight or Hoyer Lifts training instead, because standard stroke transfer techniques assume some standing ability.
