transfers def
a movement or series of movements organized to get from one position to another (ROM, strenght, control, sensation, etc can limit these)
-
4 types of transfers
- sit <---> sit
- sit <---> stand
- supine <---> sit

-
steps in sit ---> stand
- ITs (ischial tuberosities) to edge of mat
- trunk flexion - "nose over toes" or even "face past toes"
- knee flexion past 90 degrees - "feet under you and back"
- ankle dorsiflexion past 90
- forward/diagonal wt shift

- stability of sitting surface
- angle of sitting surface
(cushy chairs that angle down in back make it hard for anyone to get up)
