Use

Positioning

Position the wheelchair at an angle of about 45° to the

bed. Position the E-Board so that the grey non-slip strips

on the backside lie securely against the wheelchair seat

and the surface of the opposite surface.

Positioning is easier if the client either leans against the

direction of movement or shuffles him/herself sideways

on the mattress until he/she is seated on the glide board

(Illustration 1).

Use

The client can now slide/"shuffle" slowly over into the wheel-

chair by pushing him/herself away from the mattress (Illustra-

tion 2).

Depending on the client's resources, the carer can guide the

client, supporting the upper body, possibly using a Support

Belt, Smartmove or Sling.

Tips

If a slope is established (e.g. if the bed is slightly higher than

the wheelchair), the client will slide more easily from one to

the other.

In connection with manual handling, it will often be an advan-

tage to use a Pediturn turnplate for the feet and a

Support belt.

To remove the E-Board, the client moves his/her weight away

from the glide board, lifts and then pulls it free (Illustration 3).
