Check out this alternative lifting technique.
-Patient uses forearms to firmly press into caregiver's elbows while lacing fingers or holding wrists.
-The caregiver's hands support the patient's back while lifting.
-Then simply lean back and lift.
It is worth noting that I attempted this transfer with a gait belt first but the patient was too apprehensive and obviously the belt slipped. Needless to say it was unsuccessful.(Not shown in video.)
This patient hasn't stood in over 3 years!!!
This was easier than I thought it would be. As you can see, no slipping.
Good Luck &
Happy Lifting!
