This sturdy wood transfer board will help transfer people from wheelchair to bed, chair, car or commode. The sealed and coated board allows easy transfers to help the patient slide across the glossy surface. The board is also valuable as a mobility aid for those who are living independently and need assistance transferring place to place. To use a transfer board – Position one end of the board on the starting point and the other end on the destination to which you want to transfer such as the bed, chair, car or wheel chair. The tapered ends should be facing up to help the person slide onto the board. Try to keep the board as level as possible and be sure to lock any wheelchairs in place. Help the person onto the board then assist them as they slide across it in short movements. We highly recommend using the DMI Gait Belt in conjunction with this board to help assist moving the person. Be sure the person is dry to avoid any friction while transferring. Always consult a trained professional if there are questions about using a transfer board. Only attempt using if you have been properly trained.

Household Essential in a Wheelchair Home!
This is a daily use item in our house and has held up to a surprising amount of wear and tear already. The finish on the surface is a satin/semigloss, so not too slick but still facilitates speedy movement out of bed into the wheelchair, and vice versa.

My experiences with the board …long review.
I have had this board for 1 1/2 months now, here are some things I’ve discovered while using it. Being upfront from the start, transfers with the board still make me feel somewhat uneasy, but that is mostly due to not having used it enough to get confident on the transfers. If I don’t feel safe, I’m not budging, and the board in rehab after surgery was narrow, and the gap I had to cross was looking like the grand canyon and I refused to even attempt it. The OT there was not too happy with me to say the least, but I didn’t budge.I am a double above the knee amputee, so if you have legs, some of this might not apply to your situation.For every PRO, there might be a CON as well :)PROS:1. VERY sturdy, this board is not gonna bend under a heavy load (rated up to 735 lbs)2. Slick and smooth, which makes sliding easier.3. Length is good, you can span an area and still have coverage from where you are coming from to where you are going.4. Heavy but not horrendously so, its easy to lift and move.5. Handholds are good for helping you get lined up, and for moving the board, as it makes carrying it very easy.6. Grip pads on bottom help prevent the board from sliding on the surfaces.7. Makes an excellent temporary table top 🙂 I put it across the top of the arms of my Drive Medical Deluxe Bariatric Drop-Arm Commode, Grey and can cover the whole thing with white fabric, and use that as the base for some of my jewelry when taking pictures, without killing my back.8. I also put the board on the commode seat, and using a bucket and cup, I can wash my hair without having to get into the shower, which is a total pain as its not handicap accessible for the most part.9. Easy to store, I just slide it down between the mattress and foot board of my hospital bed. I needed the bed more before surgery than after, but no where to store it if I change beds, so there it is. I rent a room, so the board is always accessible when I need it.CONS:1. Main CON is while the board is strong it is not strong enough to prevent damage to the underside from the wheelchair. See picture I’m including with review. These marks are from the wheelchair from rehab that I am still using while awaiting a power chair with lift. If not for that, I’d give this board a 5 star. My OT did say that is normal with any board.2. Slick – be careful of what you are wearing! Some materials are not suited to sliding across a board in mid air :)3. Between the length and weight (32 inches, 4.6 lbs) this board can become awkward to use depending again on the situation. Most people will need help I would guess.4. Handholds can smash fingers if not careful, especially if you are transferring to different heights, as you tend to not think about moving your fingers until you find the board teeters to your hand side. It can feel very much like you are on the center of a teeter-tot when you hit the center, so balance is a must.5. Grip pads, what can I say. They grip. Especially when its time to either get that board under you, or out from under you. Don’t rely solely on it to hold if you are in transfer.6. Butt pinches. It can be very easy to find the board pinching you in places you don’t want pinched when getting on it. With the non slip on the bottom, I can’t transfer to the car from chair without help for a couple reasons. Can’t get the board far enough under me to get started, or out from under me when I get where I’m going. The only vehicle I can get into right now is my son’s girlfriends car, everyone else I know has SUV’s minivans or trucks, and the height difference is too great. Rather like climbing mount Everest 🙁 They don’t mind helping situate the board though, its not every day they get to shove a board up my rear.All in all, while the CON list seems long, its mostly due to not having legs. I honestly don’t know if having legs would help or hinder a transfer to be honest, they don’t get in my way at any rate :)I do not use the board for transferring in home, so far I just do what my OT described as a ‘vet transfer’ or ‘VA transfer’. That means facing the wheelchair to wherever I’m going, aka bed, couch, and using my upper body strength to push off of the chair to the goal. I rather imagine I look something like a ape without legs 🙂 when transferring. To get back in my wheelchair, I back into it same way, but that transfer does require some upper body strength and a lot of wiggling. There was a older lady in rehab who was watching me learn transfers and she announced for all in the room, that I was an “excellent wiggler”.On that bit of humor, I will leave this review for you to consider, and add that I would definitely buy this board again.

J’ai mis 2 étoiles non pas pour la qualité de la planche qui est très bonne mais surtout qu’il est regrettable qu’il n’y ait pas de patin anti dérapent sur le dessous ce qui fait quelle glisse constamment et ne reste pas en place

Well made and probably would work as intended for other but just did not work on my car seat.
