Front Method - Tub to Chair

Set-up phase

• Make sure the wheelchair is positioned facing the tub. Lock the brakes and remove the footrests. If necessary, the armrest should be removed.
• Again, position the transfer board so it “bridges” the space between the tub seat and wheelchair. It should rest under the buttocks and on the wheelchair seat.

Flight-End phase

• Have the patient grasp the wheelchair and tub seat or safety bar on the side of the tub.
• Carefully lift up and over the side of the tub and onto the wheelchair seat. (The legs should still be in the tub)
• Unlock the brakes. Back the wheelchair slowly from the tub until the feet are on the edge of the tub. Lock the brakes. Lift the feet onto the floor.
