What aspects need to be considered when taking a global approach to the work situation?
Individual (patient) Task (what sort of transfer) Equipment (is the equipment in good working shape?) Environment Time
All within an organization

What are 3 basic things to consider in terms of biomechanics?
- Lever arm: Stay close to the patient.
Not to support the pt’s weight, but to provide a sense of security to support movement. - Base of support: Wide stance w/ good back posture/positioning
- Weight Shifts (Caregiver): Do not lift, use body transfers. Forward/backward or lateral weight shifts. Counterweight.

Roll
Slide
Pivot

Check pt’s:

What is key to effective communication during transfers?
-Be polite
