Floor to chair transfer video...

jimnms · 04-19-2005, 08:03 PM

I've finally managed to do floor to chair transfers. I have been working on it at home because my PT said I wasn't strong enough to do it.

I have been working out twice a week at PT along with my workout routine at home, so I'm sure that has helped.

The week before the DC rally, I was on the livingroom floor stretching and lifting weights, and when I got done I tried my transfer and actually made it on the second try, although it took me a while. Now I've gotten to where I can do it without even tirng myself out.

This isn't my best one, I was tired because I had been on the weights, and then it was the third time I had done the transfer because she kept messing up with the camera.

First, here's the video of me getting on to the floor, it's a little sloppy since I was crammed between the two mats:
Chair to floor transfer (1.8MB).

And here's the floor to chair tranfer video:
Floor to chair transver (1.5MB).

BTW, I'm C8 complete injury.

Very impressive. I feel motivated to try learning these again.

Nice transfer. I've never seen someone do one facing towards the chair.

Nice. With a little practice, it looks doable for me. I'm a little higher (weak triceps, wrists, no hands), but I'm getting a little fearless now that I've got my bike.

Dang Dude, you made that look easy. I'm a T9 and have never been able to get up and down from the floor. I have not had any PT or much rehab.
I am going to try it now that I have seen you do it.

Nice job Jim. I'm sure you will inspire others to learn how to do that and to be more independent.
