Step-by-Step Floor Transfer Process
Here is a detailed breakdown of the process:
- Push up: Begin by pushing with your upper arm. This allows you to prop yourself up onto your elbow.
- Continue to sit: Continue pushing yourself up until you are in a sitting position.
- Get on hands and knees: Begin to twist your body around to get onto your hands and knees.
- Crawl to support: Once you are on your hands and knees, crawl towards a sturdy piece of furniture, such as a chair or table, that you can use for support.
- Rise to kneeling: Prop your hands on the sturdy furniture (like the back or seat of a chair) and use them to push yourself up onto your knees.
This process helps you safely transition from lying on the floor to a more stable kneeling position, using furniture for support before attempting to stand fully (though the provided steps end at the kneeling position).
