Our OT says... Turning Aids 1
Height Adjustable Hand Grips
Turning / Transfer Aids are a valuable moving and handling tool and are designed to be used indoors and for shorter transfers between Armchair /Wheelchair / Bed / Toilet / Commode or other surface. In order to use these safely the person must be able to support their weight whilst standing. They then need to be able to maintain their standing balance whilst holding the handles. It is important that the person can hold onto the handles safely and understand the instructions given to them. The carer has to counter balance the person’s weight when rising to stand, when sitting down and during the transfers. The use of a turning aid can reduce the strain on a carer and help to maintain a person’s ability to stand.
