FLOOR TRANSFER! 

Thank you! :D

@@JackInAction Hi Jack, how are you doing buddy? Nice job my friend for posting this videos. Hope you are well? Kind regards, from, PaulLaw.

Daniel Lea Great question! Hmm..it's good and it also can make things more difficult. Like, the tone makes it harder for me to move my leg than if it had no tone. If it had no tone, it would be floppy and not nearly as helpful when trying to get it to stay still when lifting up into my chair during the floor transfer. It's good to have a happy medium! Having floppy legs is not ideal, nor is having legs that spasm a lot or contain a strong amount of tone. So, somewhere between those two is where I like to have my tone. Everyone is different and prefers different tones. If you have muscle tone, I'd recommend you talk with a doctor and see what medication options or procedures there are if it badly effects the way you move around. If you are able to do things the way you like right now, I'd say stay where you're at and practice techniques and embrace what you've got! I hope I answered your question!

JackInAction Thanks for that very well-elaborated response! I myself am not paralyzed but I have some friends and acquaintances who do wheelchair sports. And I wondered because I hear some people take various kinds of medication to calm tone and spasms if it gets to a point where it is painful or disabling. Learnt something new! Thanks again!

@@JackInAction Hi Jack, how are you doing buddy? Would you say that the remaining muscle tone in your legs is an advantage when you do transfers like that or rather an impediment? Hope your O.K. Transferring from the wheelchair to the floor isn’t easy. Every time when you practise it makes it a lot easier. Well done for posting your videos Jack. Kind regards, from, PaulLaw.

Hey! Yes, I'm a T11 incomplete (I can feel some extreme hot and cold / extreme pressure below my point of injury) with a burst fracture at T9.

@@JackInAction Hi Jack, how are you doing my friend? What is your level of injury? Complete or incomplete? Your in a T11 incomplete injury. You can feel some extra hot and cold or extreme pressure below the point of injury with a burst at T9 injury. Kind regards, from, PaulLaw.
