Transfer Boards

Transfer boards are flat, sturdy boards used to assist individuals in moving from one surface to another, such as from a wheelchair to a bed or chair. They help bridge the gap between surfaces that are at different heights or distances, providing a smooth, stable surface for sliding. The person or caregiver carefully places the board between the two surfaces, helping reduce physical strain and increase safety during transfers. Transfer boards are a practical tool in healthcare and caregiving settings, supporting independence and reducing the risk of injury for both the person being moved and the caregiver.
