Don’t Use Tennis Balls on your Walker. Do This Instead
Переглядів 12 тис.Рік тому
Tennis balls on a walker is so 1970s when therapists needed to find a way to let the walker slide off verbal institutional linoleum. Today we have more options. Ski glides come in different styles and some even have “slippers” to protect your floors if needed. Walker skis will hold up longer than tennis balls and you can use them on most any surface with less friction and “dragging” of the walk...

    But if you do this, you've just made the walker more unstable and prone to tipping over!

    • @SimpleStepsMobility
      @SimpleStepsMobility 26 днів тому

      In many homes with narrow doorways the walker doesn't fit and people either go without or have to use sideways which make them fall risks. Many use them this way and have reported no problems and have no problems passing through narrow doorways. But, it's always better to be safe than sorry and these are only suggestions. Use any technique or strategy at your own risk.

    I love this little guy. It's compactness can't be beat. When you need a little something more than a cane, this can't be beat. Remember, this isn't meant to replace a full size a 3 or 4 walker. I don't regret getting one. It's always in the car.

    The hard plastic is not good for wooden floors! They are easier to maneuver on carpet however, than tennis balls!

    • @SimpleStepsMobility
      @SimpleStepsMobility 2 місяці тому

      There are ski glides available that have fabric "slippers" you can fit over them for this very reason. They protect wood floors that may be prone to scratching, especially if you're putting a lot of weight thru the walker. But, if your floors are tile, linoleum, or laminate, you don't have anything to worry about because the skis will just slide over them.

    or a simpler way is to Remove assembly and throw over your left or right shoulder ! Been in a chair since 1977 and have never used them ! But I do realise there are some cases where people need them to do transfers 🤟

    • @SimpleStepsMobility
      @SimpleStepsMobility 3 місяці тому

      Agreed. It does depend on your comfort level. I typically am working with caregivers who need suggestions for their and their care recipient's safety with transfers.

    • @SimpleStepsMobility
      @SimpleStepsMobility 3 місяці тому

      Unfortunately, using this technique, as with any, is dependent on the caregiver's ability and limitations, the limitations of the care recipient, and also environmental factors like steep or narrow steps. There are situations that 1 person cannot safely do.

      They are so much better than tennis balls and last a lot longer. And, a pack of tennis balls probably costs more!

    Should we remove bottom clothes before or after transfer to commode?

    • @SimpleStepsMobility
      @SimpleStepsMobility 8 місяців тому

      It's generally easier for a person to "slide" across the transfer board when there is clothing on or fabric between the skin and board. Some will use a towel or pillowcase to sit on or try to use "baby powder" on the board. I hope that helps.

  • @user-fl7kk6ct1p

    Looks like the patient must still have some mobility or this wouldn't work

    • @SimpleStepsMobility
      @SimpleStepsMobility 8 місяців тому

      This may or may not be the case. In some cases a person may have mobility but may not be able to stand up, or may be too heavy or nervous to attempt to stand. In other cases the caregiver may not feel confident to have someone try to stand, being injured or relatively weak. The video shows the "positioning" that both the caregiver and care recipient need to go through in order to complete the transfer regardless of ability. Each person will have different abilities. What is essential is that the care recipient can actually sit upright with or without support. Otherwise, the transfer board is of no use.
