What is difficulty transferring?



Difficulty transferring is when a person struggles to get from one place to another. Difficulty transferring can be due to:
  • Difficulty using a hoist to transfer
  • Difficulty transferring with the assistance of one other person.
  • Difficulty transferring using equipment independently.
  • Difficulty transferring independently.
These transfers could include simple transfers such as getting into the bath, from the bed to the chair, transferring into the car. Difficulty transferring is something experienced by many people with reduced mobility caused by neurological problems.
