Is this good to use with slideboard for mostly passive transfer of (smallish but too heavy for me to lift) person between wheelchair, toilet and bed?

I would think so, but I have no experience using the devices you mentioned. I think it is a quality product that I very much recommend . Hope this helps.

Yes, definitely. The green handles work just fine. Very strong, won't tear.

I would think it would be quite helpful. Yes. Need to adjust buckle for tightness where you want. Depends on thickness of clothes. If sitting belly sticks out more than standing.

I would.think so. We haven't seen any issues with it sliding out od.a.wheelchair or an upholstered lazy boy chair. It has a kind of.grippy backing on it.

It is a heavy duty gait belt but transferring on a slide board might prove to be challenging for both people

Yes and no. The foot rests can be removed so if the person wanted to, I suppose they could propel themselves with one leg? The problem would be steering and locking the brakes. This is a transport chair and not a standard wheelchair. Notice how much smaller the wheels are in the photo. It would be impossible for the user to lock the brakes themselves. It's a top notch choice as long as you have someone to do the pushing. I hope this helps.

NO! It is not good for any type of power wheelchair. The track is very narrow so that only a chair that has thin wheels that are perfectly aligned can be used

Posturepedic? I don't know because I've never had one or seen one. This transfer handle's very substantial platform slips between the mattress and box spring. No attachments to bedboard needed at all. My husband really loved it. It was the stability he needed to roll over and get into and out of bed.

didn't work out well for us..wife couldn't assist..couldn't get the sliding seat far enough under the butt at the chair or seat end to do any good..better bet is the "ultra slick" 37" transfer board with a slippy pillow case under butt..better option yet is if she can assist enough with legs is to use a gait belt & do stand & pivot transfers or swing pivot transfers keeping the chair as close as possible to car seat..hope that helps

It should work. The transfer handle is attached to a thin piece of wood. That piece of wood sits between the mattress and box spring. This is assuming that a posturpedic bed also consists of two parts as in a mattress and box spring. If is only one part, it would then go under that one part. If you also have an additional bed board, it would sit on top of that.

I don't think it's designed to be attached to either a recliner or toilet. It has a bracket which attaches to a pole on your wheelchair.

Yes. it should be fine. Just be sure that the wheelchair seat is big enough for the cushion as it is rather large.

Yes, this is a wonder transfer board. I do home care physical therapy and use it with my patients. There is no issue of cracking or splintering, have been using one for years without problem. It is easy to clean and the beveled edges help with the transfer. Patients slide on this much safer than the plastic models. Highly recommended

I don't believe this would be an effective exercise apparatus for those who use a wheelchair. This pole is too long. I suggest the Body Blade. It is much shorter and would work for someone who uses a wheelchair because it would not hit the floor the way this item would. The body blade is more expensive but so worth it.

It's not easy to go over threshholds because the wheels are relatively small. Have to wrestle with it. A regular wheelchair works better there, with a notch on the back that the steering party can put their foot on to raise the front wheel slightly as needed. & the large wheels make it easier to push too. Can't speak to carpet, but almost tumbled my Mom out trying to do down a cobble stoned ramp at an art show in the streets. This chair is handy sometimes, but a real wheelchair probably works best for long-term situations. Mom used it to push her laundry to the laundry room yesterday...

This bed rail fits very snug between mattress and box spring and is very secure. If you have some strength in your arms, it should be helpful getting out of bed. You grab the rail and roll to your side, then use both arms to push yourself to sitting position. Mattresses can be slippery, so grabbing on to this will provide you extra security. If you are standing from wheelchair getting into bed, the bar is great to help pull yourself up.

Yes, it is appropriate, what I like in this wheelchair, is its light, I used to drive my husband in his dialysis treatment, the old wheelchair I have been using is so heavy, for me this is a durable one. Everyone who sees it likes it.

24 inches long, 8 inches wide. plenty long enough to be useful in transferring to bed and back again, from wheelchair... provided your bed and wheelchair are within an inch of the same height. at first i didn't think this board would be long enough, but now that i have it, i see that if it was any longer, it wouldn't work too well. it's a beautiful board, smooth and well made, MUCH nicer than other boards i've seen.

I used it for my 83 year old handicapped husband. Yes. On occasion it would move when he got up on it, so I had to make sure I either held it, or it was braced against something.
