Who can benefit from using a short transfer board?
The short transfer board is ideal for people with reduced mobility, such as those recovering from injury, living with long-term conditions, or using a wheelchair. It helps make everyday transfers smoother and safer, providing greater independence in daily routines.
What situations is the short transfer board best suited for?
This board is most effective when moving between surfaces that are close together and at a similar height, such as from a wheelchair to a bed, chair, or toilet. Its compact size makes it especially useful in tight spaces where a longer board may not be practical.
How does the short transfer board improve safety?
By creating a stable bridge between two surfaces, the short transfer board reduces the risk of slipping or falling during a transfer. It allows users to slide across gradually and in a controlled way, which helps prevent strain on both the user and the carer.
Is the short transfer board easy to use and transport?
Yes, the short transfer board is lightweight and simple to position, making it easy to use at home or while travelling. Its compact size also makes it convenient to store, and it can be carried discreetly when needed.
