1. What Are Transfers?

This chapter provides key background information about transfers in the restorative nursing context, including defining transfers and reviewing key equipment and safety considerations.

2. Transfers: Squat-Pivot Transfer

In cases where residents have decreased lower extremity strength or range of motion, squat-pivot transfers are often indicated. This chapter provides step-by-step instructions for properly executing squat-pivot transfers.

3. Transfers: Stand-Pivot Transfer

This chapter provides detailed instructions for stand-pivot transfers, usually involving additional equipment considerations (transfer poles, canes, walkers, etc.). This kind of transfer is ideal for residents with posterior hip precautions.
