If you have been given a slide sheet to use at home, you should have been given instructions about how to use it safely. This film is a guide only.<\/p>\n<p>Therapist:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cNow Joanne, we looked at John moving across the bed by bending his knees up and allowing allowing him to lift his bottom over.\u201d \u201cWhen John\u2019s feeling a bit tired or maybe when he is having an off day, it might be a good idea to think about using a sliding sheet to move him across the bed,\u201d \u201cIt\u2019s easier for John just to slide by pushing his bottom across or by you actually physically sliding him across using the sheet.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cSo we put this under and we\u2019ll just have a look at that.\u201d \u201cSo raise the bed again so it\u2019s a practical height for us to work at without straining ourselves.\u201d \u201cOK put that down just now.\u201d \u201cSo John, we are going to roll you towards Joanne so I can get the slide sheet in.\u201d \u201cSo just bend this knee up a little bit, just the one, let the other stay down John.\u201d \u201cThat\u2019s fine.\u201d \u201cIf you can take care of your arm.\u201d \u201cTake hold of your arm.\u201d \u201cI\u2019ll just put the slide sheet in so it\u2019s sliding on itself sideways.\u201d \u201cI\u2019ll push that as far through as |I can.\u201d \u201cNow John, if you come back on to the sheet OK.\u201d \u201cThis time you are coming to me, well done.\u201d \u201cNice and slowly OK.\u201d \u201cOK that\u2019s you well and truly on it.\u201d \u201cSo let\u2019s bring you back into the centre again.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cOK Now John we are just, we are in preparation for coming out of the bed again.\u201d \u201cSo just going to slide your bottom over towards me.\u201d \u201cOK.\u201d \u201cSo Joanne\u2019s going to guide you across and I\u2019m going to do the sliding.\u201d \u201cOK so after ready, steady.\u201d \u201cReady, steady, slide.\u201d \u201cOK, that\u2019s far enough.\u201d \u201cWhat we do John is if you can just roll towards Joanne a little bit, and I\u2019ll just take the sheet out altogether.\u201d \u201cJust remove it by taking it out from underneath, nice and gently.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cNow John, we are just going to lower the bed so when you roll over on to the side to sit up that you\u2019re not in mid air.\u201d \u201cOK so just bear with us.\u201d \u201cOK I\u2019ll just come round Joanne.\u201d \u201cOk John we are just going to help you up into sitting.\u201d \u201cWe are going to bring your legs over the side of the bed first.\u201d \u201cSo you are actually on your side already.\u201d \u201cI\u2019ll hold on to your legs.\u201d \u201cOK now Joanne is going to help you to sit up.\u201d \u201cYou can push up with your left hand.\u201d \u201cTry and keep your weight coming forward John.\u201d \u201cCan we bring this leg round?\u201d \u201cWe are just about there.\u201d \u201cOK if we can try and keep you coming straight up from your side that\u2019s the easiest way.\u201d \u201cAs soon as you start to lean back, that\u2019s when it becomes difficult to sit up.\u201d \u201cAnd what we\u2019ll do is help you get your bottom round.\u201d \u201cCan you jiggle your bottom forward a little bit?\u201d \u201cCan you bring this side forward?\u201d \u201cLet me just help you with your hip.\u201d \u201cThat\u2019s it.\u201d \u201cBoth feet on the ground John.\u201d \u201cYou feeling OK?\u201d \u201cJust give you a wee minute for your head to get used to being upright again.\u201d \u201cYou\u2019re OK.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cSo we are going to transfer you back on to the wheelchair using the turner.\u201d \u201cSo we will just get everything organised.\u201d \u201cI\u2019m just going to walk the turner in towards you John.\u201d \u201cJust put that foot slightly further on.\u201d \u201cOK thank you.\u201d \u201cNow if you just sit still for a second, while I get the wheelchair into position.\u201d \u201cI think what I\u2019ll do is put the wheelchair straight in front of you John just to demonstrate how we can actually get him in to the wheelchair without it having to be at ninety degrees.\u201d \u201cI\u2019ll leave it here.\u201d \u201cThen we can move it when we need to.\u201d \u201cOK so if you can assist John up into standing again and just get his trunk.\u201d \u201cI\u2019ll counter balance at the front again.\u201d \u201cNice and upright John. \u201c \u201cNice and upright John. \u201c \u201cYou can try and bring your tummy forward so you are well tucked in at the back.\u201d \u201cOK I\u2019m just going to move the turner round keeping nice and upright.\u201d \u201cAll the way round and just you stay there for a second.\u201d \u201cI\u2019ll just get the chair in behind you.\u201d \u201cNow Joanne, at the moment we\u2019ve got no space at the front of the turner to counter balance it from the front.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cSo what we need to do is just counter balance the turner from each side with our foot on it at the side\u201d \u201cOK John we ready to sit down nice and slowly.\u201d \u201cStick your bottom right out behind you, bend in the middle and down you go.\u201d \u201cJust watch this arm.\u201d \u201cOK, I\u2019m just going to take the chair away from the turner and take the turner away.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Here are some points to consider when using a slide sheet.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Roll the person on to their side. (the person may need help to do this. Bending one knee will help the person to roll.)<\/li>\n<li>Position the slide sheet. (Push the sheet as far under the person as you can then roll them on to the other side and pull the slide sheet through. The sheet should be under the person when they are lying flat again.)<\/li>\n<li>Are you both ready? (Tell the person before you start to pull.)<\/li>\n<li>Let the sheet do the work. (A firm, controlled pull on the top layer of the sheet is enough to move the person across the bed. Take care with your own posture, keeping your knees slightly bent and your back straight but not rigid.)<\/li>\n<li>Remove the slide sheet. (You should remove the sheet after it has been used. Pull on the lower layer to remove the sheet Pulling a little at a time. Do not leave the person lying on a slide sheet as they may move and slip off the bed.)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Video running time: 06.38 minutes.
