How to Assist with a Shower Transfer

When assisting a patient INTO the shower:

1. Bring wheelchair up to threshold of shower leaving room to allow patient to keep feet on the ...floor outside of the shower.
*Do not attempt the transfer with the patient's feet inside the shower threshold.
*To help keep the patient safe during the transfer and after assisting the patient with undressing for shower put a t-shirt on the patient then place a gait belt on the patient over the t-shirt.

2. After placing the gait belt on the patient ask the patient to scoot forward in the wheelchair, either:
*Have the patient lean back in wheelchair and push hips forward, or:
*Have the patient walk hips forward by weight shifting to one side and walking opposite side forward then weight shift to other side walking opposite side forward.
**Use tactile cues if needed to assist the patient in understanding which leg to weight shift and which leg to move forward.

3. Verbally cue the patient to stand:
*Ask the patient to push up from the wheelchair by placing patient's hands on the arms of the wheelchair, or
*Ask the patient to put one hand on the shower grab bar to help pull up and the other hand on the arm of the wheelchair to help push up from the wheelchair.

4. Tell patient "We're going to stand on the count of three.", "One, two, three."

5. Once the patient is standing ask the patient to place both hands on the shower grab bar.

6. Verbally cue the patient to "step into the shower" along with a tactile cue if needed by gently tapping on one side of the patient's hip to cue patient for weight shifting to one side and verbally cue the patient to pick up opposite foot and step into the shower. Repeat tactile and verbal cue for bringing remaining foot into the shower.

7. Ask the patient to sit down on the shower bench.

When assisting a patient OUT of the shower:

1. Assist the patient in thoroughly drying themselves after the shower.

2. Put a t-shirt back on the patient.

3. Place the gait belt on the patient over the t-shirt.

4. Ask the patient to place both hands on the shower grab bar to pull self up.

5. Tell patient, "On the count of three, stand up." "One, two, three."

6. Once standing give the patient tactile cues as before to assist with stepping out of the shower.
*Weight shift on one leg and step with opposite leg.
*Repeat on opposite leg.
*Pivot back and forth and verbally cue the patient to step to the side or to the back as needed to guide the patient back into the wheelchair.
*Verbally cue the patient, "It's like dancing" if needed.

7. When the patient can feel the wheelchair on the back of their legs, ask the patient to reach back for the arms of the wheelchair and to lower themselves into the seat.

03:26 Cindy's thoughts on the Beasy Board

Cindy is reviewing 3 styles of Beasy Transfer Boards (BeasyTrans, BeasyGlyder and Beasy ll) and demonstrating a wheelchair to chair transfer. The individual being transferred needs to have decent trunk control in sitting for safety when using a Beasy transfer board. Beasy boards are intended for use with the assistance of a caregiver. As caregivers, we always encourage the individual being cared for to assist as much as safe and appropriate. These 3 boards are different lengths and shapes in order to accommodate varying circumstances regarding space and distance for varying surface to surface transfers. The Beasy transfer boards can reduce the load/effort of the caregiver as well as eliminate friction on the skin of the individual being transferred. Beasy Board transfers will take practice for proper technique and safety.

Please check out further instructional information on these transfer boards at beasyboards.com

For further demonstration on varying assistance for transfers by caregivers, check us out a AECorner.com
