you just need to be in front of Fran at this point.\u201d \u201cSo Fran you\u2019re going to gently edge your hips along the transfer board.\u201d \u201cNow where you\u2019ve popped your hand is probably not the best place to put your hand because your fingers are underneath the board.\u201d \u201cAnd as soon as you put weight onto the board, your fingers will get caught between the board and the wheelchair.\u201d \u201cSo just have them towards the edge but not across the edge of the board.\u201d \u201cNow very short, small movements across the board Fran whenever you are ready.\u201d \u201cThat\u2019s excellent.\u201d \u201cAnd again.\u201d \u201cSuper now stop there.\u201d \u201cNow what you can do at this point is bring your hand up on to the arm of the chair and you can use that just to guide yourself slowly in to the chair.\u201d \u201cSo Fran is controlling this manoeuvre very, very well.\u201d \u201cNow do you feel like you could take your hips slightly further back in to the chair?\u201d \u201cAnd again it\u2019s a nice manoeuvre, both sides going back in to the chair.\u201d \u201cNow we need to remove the board.\u201d \u201cSo Fran can take her weight over on to her right hip again and we can very gently remove the board.\u201d \u201cAre you comfortable Fran?\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Fran:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cYes\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Therapist:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cOK so all that\u2019s left to do now is we need to put the side back down on the chair and the footplates back on.\u201d \u201cSo if we put the side down first.\u201d \u201cMake sure that\u2019s secure in place.\u201d \u201cThen we just need to get the footplates and put them back on.\u201d \u201cBring you foot forward for me Fran, excellent.\u201d \u201cAnd then your left one.\u201d \u201cOK, well done.\u201d \u201cAnd just making sure her heels are well back on to the supports there at the back of the footplates.\u201d \u201cAnd then we can just release the brakes on the chair and Fran is set to go.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Video running time: 04.37 minutes.
