PfiFf – Anleitung zur Unterstützung der Mobilität und zum Umsetzen eines Pflegebedürftigen

Transferring or lifting someone out of bed should be done in a way that protects the back. The correct techniques and ideal posture are demonstrated in the video. After rising from a lying to a sitting position, the person being cared for should be closely monitored to ensure they do not become dizzy. Their circulatory system needs time to adjust to the new sitting position. This video is part of the "PfiFf – Promoting Caregiving in Families" program.
