Today i needed to try a car transfer with patient Y. Patient Y had a stroke, resulting in L side weakness. He also has reduced hip flexion on his L due to an arthrodesed hip. I think i handled this transfer very well. Before taking the patient out to the car, i set up my environment. I made sure there was no clutter around the car seat. I then pushed the chair back as far as i could to enable more foot space as he has such little hip flexion. I also tilted the chair back, to compnsate for the decreased L hip flexion. I took patient Y out to the car with his 2wzf and made sure he walked right up close. Supporting his pelvis i asked my patient to let go of the frame so that i could clear the space, and hold onto the door frame. I then asked my patient if he could try himself to get in the car, sliding his bottom in first. I think it was good that i did not offer immediate assistance as my patient was capable of independently transferring into the car under supervision, with verbal ques. This meant that he wsa working to his optimal level but in a asafe environment.
