Side Method - Tub to Chair

Set-up phase

• Make sure the wheelchair is positioned so it is next to the tub. Lock the brakes and remove the closest footrest and armrest.
• Position the transfer board so it “bridges” the tub seat and wheelchair. It should rest under the buttocks and on the wheelchair seat.

Flight-End phase 

• The patient should place his/her foot closest to the wheelchair out of the tub. Carefully lift up and over the side of the tub and onto the wheelchair seat.
• Lift the other foot out of the tub
