Quadriplegic | Transfer from ground to wheelchair failed 

Although you were not successful lifting yourself up into the chair this time, I still admire your determination and strength. I am happy for you.

Nossa , quase tive um infarto de tanto que eu torci pra essa moça conseguir sentar na cadeira , me deu vontade de entrar no celular para poder ajudar ela . Mano e a gente aqui tendo tudo sendo perfeito e reclamando da vida. Parabéns pela sua garra moça .

The things we take for granted. God bless you!🙏

Very Independent never give up because no matter what u are a strong woman mentally and physically 💯💯💯

Thank u for trying so hard this is difficult maybe u can get pointer for others that are in wheelchair so sorry

Bless you, young friend. You inspire me. I’m not (yet) in a wheelchair. However I’m almost 80 years old and I get frustrated when my body doesn’t want it to do. I’ve had too many falls, so I use a walker. But I get myself into difficult situations sometimes. You inspire me to try and be as determined as you are and not feel sorry for myself and be less “old man grouchy”. Thank you. ❤️😊

Brave effort girl well done, I tried several times and failed so keep trying

You are a fighter, courageous, and strong! You will conquer this, YOU will OWN this, and somebody that is watching these videos is working on new ideas to give you victory. Maybe it will be as small as a new piece of equipment, but you will NOT BE DEFEATED. All our love and prayers are being sent your way.

U good,never give up sweetie, life is full of surprises.

Hola Sandra eres un ejemplo para los que estamos en silla de ruedas que con perseverancia se pueden lograr los objetivos saludos

I wish I knew you. You are an inspiration and a beautiful young woman. God bless you.

Молодчина девочка, боец, не сдавайся и не пасуй перед недугом....... Все будет хорошо у тебя !!!!👏👏👏👏 Well done girl, a fighter, do not give up and do not graze before the disease ....... Everything will be fine with you !!!

Just don’t give up!! Keep your head up and smile! Ly

People give up over the smallest of feats, this is obviously no small feat! I can tell that your determination is going to pick you up into that wheelchair! I'm a right leg ABK, I found strength and determination I never knew I was capable of! Keep pushing!!

Las ganas de vivir y la fuerza de voluntad q tiene esa muchacha es un ejemplo para todas las personas 🙏🙌🏼

You are one of the bravest and strongest persons I have seen on RU-vid for a long time. Thank you for showing us the meaning of true courage. x

Never give up: you still are a beautiful, wonderful woman. I admire you.🐩💗👍👏💞💗

I feel inspired by you. You are so brave and determined, without any self pity. You will blessed abundantly.

Don’t give up the more u try the better u get at it .build ur strength up

Tu puedes, nunca te rindas... Personas como tu valen oro...

Bless your heart you are so beautiful, you need a good person to love and take care of you! God bless you

Even though this was a year ago.... just the fact you can sit like that without your legs falling to the left or the right is good. because when i sit like that.. my legs either fall to the left or the right.. So you are ahead of me already.. May the Lord continue to bless you and like we already know.. we can't give up!!! Never give up... What i am going to try and start doing is working out my Triceps (Tricep Dips) that may help you as well.

You are my INSPIRATION,,, BE BLESS

I know this ...you are doing alot more than people that are capable ...I'm tearing up ....don't give up !!!!!!.

I do admire you for your positive thinking and everything but when you have a handicap regardless what it is never give up

I'm amazed at her determination. They should make a wheelchair with a pneumatically lowered and raised seat. Push a button to deflate and lower the seat, slide backward into the chair, then either a battery or hand pump to raise the seat to a lockable normal position. => No more failed transfers

really a pretty girl and do not give up and if I see something you want to help💪💪

Types of things like this transferring from place to place to the wheelchair from the bathroom tub. It takes time every body has their own technique. You’ll see in time you’ll gain strength and prefect your techniques. Personally I don’t like to do things that are not necessary. As long as you can transfer from the bed to the couch to the car to the bathroom those are the important and necessary things. You do a lot of things that other people who are disabled can not do. Getting up off the floor in my opinion is not necessary. You still win. Because you are able to get off your wheelchair onto the floor and back onto the couch. That’s a big accomplishment. I don’t remember how long it took me to do that but you’re doing great.

Super cutie. I would love to be the man in her life. I love helping people, not to mention that she is drop dead gorgeous!

What a wonderful attempts even though you did not make it....it was a Good try ....you did not fail.......! we love you Sandrah.........

Hey beautiful, you'll succeed! and do not give up!

Some times you have to be the stronger person and ask for help. It’s hard living with a disability it’s hard being in the wheelchair every day. I know but you just have to be brave and ask for help. You don’t want to hurt yourself or cause further injury to your limbs. Based on my experience if you really want to transfer yourself like that I suggest you work on your upper body strength. Swimming is the best quick results with minimal effort. Just focus on upper body strength. Always have supervision there’s high risk of drowning because you can’t move your legs. Take vitamins. Pray to God to meet your need. He knows how you feel he knows where you’re at. Keep up the good work you’re doing. You’re doing good.

Come on, you can do it, dear 💪❤👏

You're so pretty! Keep trying, don't give up! I'm a T6, been paralyzed for 30 years now. Used to be able to get off the floor into my wheelchair but it was so hard! Once you miss a couple times your arms are so tired it's hard to get that strength back to try again. About 15 years ago I got a blood disorder, my blood counts are really low. So they put me in the hospital and said it was my diet. So they had me lay in bed in the hospital for 5 months on a 3000 plus calorie a day diet. Then they sent me home and 3 months later I went back in the hospital and they did the same thing, then again! After two and a half almost three years I went from 120 lb is almost 200 lbs. They tried doing it again and I just said no find a different way because the diet thing isn't working. They did every test they could think of and send it to the Mayo Clinic and they couldn't find anything wrong either. So they never have figured out why my blood counts are so low. I spent the next couple years trying to lose the weight and build my arms back up. But in 2009 I got a bad blood infection again. I was in the hospital for 9 months and almost died a couple times. The bad thing is they didn't do range of motion on my legs when I was in the hospital at all. I lost a lot of range of motion in my legs because of that, they're really stiff now. I also lost most of the strength in my arms and I still haven't been able to get all of that back. There's no way right now that I could transfer from the floor up to my chair again. Right now I'm just trying to lose the weight without crashing my blood counts and not get another blood infection, and build my arm strength up again. So good luck with your struggles on getting into the chair and I hope things work out for you! Darin

Don't give up...ever!!!

Keep working on it. You will get it, soon. I lost my left foot January 2018. I was very sick, too. I am not a young guy nor the skinniest. But I am able to go from the floor to my wheelchair just like you are doing it. If you can transfer yourself from a bed to the chair, or from the chair to the toilet or bathtub side, then you can do this, too. I am not trying to be arrogant. Good luck.

BENDICIONES....DIOS TE DARA LAS FUERZAS PARA SALIR VICTORIOSA

THAT SHYT CAN GET TIRING FOR A PERSON BY THEIRSELVES. TONS OF HATS OFF TO YOU AND TONS OF RESPECT AND LOVE TO YA FOR NOT GIVING UP. YOUR BOLD AND STRONG. DONTCHU DARE STOP.

You are outstanding never give up being that

you are so great ,your experience has triggered me to face the accommodation challenges that I have

Hi Sandra! My idea would be to develop the tricep muscles in your arms. You could start with light dumbbells and perform a behind the head tricep extension if you can. Check RU-vid for video instruction on the proper movements as there are different techniques to strengthen them. Never Quit! I am proud of you!

Passei por uma situação assim dw não conseguir sentir minhas pernas por uns segundos, fiquei sentado muito tempo e quando me levantei fui direto ao chão faltou circulação sanguínea, e senti muito e imagino como deve ser ,e adimiro quem passa por isso pois teem muita força de vontade e são inteligentes e humildes e dão muito valor a vida mesmo que seja difícil não desistem facilmente, força vá em frente não desista nunca!

Fuerza mi niña hermosa Dios te bendiga.!!

Hello there. I'm a C8 T1 I could never do it that way I learned to get from the floor to the chair by facing the wheelchair then pulling myself up like I'm kneeling in front of the wheelchair then lifting my upper body by doing essentially the same thing you're doing but front ward towards the chair then when my waist was high enough I would twist with my shoulders which would twist my lower body enough to get my butt on the corner of the wheelchair. I could never do it the way you're trying but was taught both ways. Like you I could never get the height the way you're doing it. I've been in the chair since 1991. I've gained weight since then so floor lifts are a thing of the past for me. But keep trying and find what works for you. I've gone skydiving, whitewater rafting, got my masters degree, played wheelchair basketball and am still employed full time at the age of 58. There's bumps in the road but keep trying and think outside the box. I can see your determination and that will get you to do whatever you can and then some.

I admire your determination you'll get it keep trying don't give up

You are a beautiful inspiration to other people can do it ❤

You can and will do it. I admire your courage

Manufacturing design problem I'm some manufacturer are watching this. Keep trying you're brave!

Remember you were on the floor. You picked yourself up from the floor onto the couch and into the wheelchair. That is a floor transfer. 😁

Being a manufacturer I would say that the footrest area is very narrow for you to fit in have a wider wheelchair or footrest area where you can fit in easily. This wheelchair is sporty and has been designed for that purpose.

Never give up baby you’re so beautiful... life is all about trial error All I do, I do, for the love success miss you lonely.... Beautiful, gorgeous, cute, love from Nigeria 🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬😍😘

You're tough as nails and persistent and you are developing strength so don't give up and you will succeed and one day you will laugh at this have a wonderful weekend.

Дай бог тебя здоровья

God bless you and empower you with wisdom and discernment to know what to do and how to do it.

Keep going Sandra soon you will be able to make it I'm sure of it keep up the good work !!!

I had a friend who was a Major in the army had an accident and was not able to move his arms and legs, he was a real fighter like you are to defeat all the odds of life

Keep it up girl! I am a T1 and cant even do half of what you did!

That is great effort, for being a quadriplegic. GOD BLESS YOU.

Never give up young beautiful girl

Amazing determination! It is one of my goals eventually to do floor to chair transfers. I’m wondering about putting a couple blocks in front of your foot plate and lifting yourself off of the floor onto the block Then from those grabbing the front bars from your chair to transfer onto the seat. I usually use those to transfer from my bed to the chair it prevents my feet to drop on the floor and give my legs a bit of a lift. Definitely is a huge help! Also a game changer to transfer to my commode. Best of luck keep on sending it and trying💪🏻❤️

Also based on my experience I can see that you’re a strong ambitious girl. If you want to lift yourself from the floor into your wheelchair may God grant you the strength in Jesus name.

A small lift under you operated with your L arm - like a modern scissors type car jack where you turn the handle in circles. In fact, a car jack somewhat modified would work. Need bigger base for stability and operated upside down so that the turn handle rises as you rise and stays within reach and easiest turning.

Just think what we take for granted when your having a shit day just think of her

Hi... Get a pillow from your bed. When you're on the floor. Remove your seat cushion from chair, so you won't have far to go when lifting yourself up! Place your bed pillow on your foot rest. This should give you height. Lift your bottom up onto the foot rest and up to your chair. Transfer to the couch to put your seat cushion back on your chair. Hopefully this helps. Good luck👍🏼

You are amazing😘😘😇🤗😊😇

I'm in the same state and I know how hard it feels to get on you're a hero

Ainda que falte forças, Deus é a sua fortaleza, Confia! Deus te Abençõe, Vc estará em minhas Orações

Бедняжка, как же жалко. Терпения и здоровья тебе!!!

tu puedes mi reina hermosa❤❤❤❤👏👏👏 un poco más.

I got shot when i was 16 the bullet hot tge nerves in spinal cord that left me partiality paralyzed. Whith the grace of god i was able to regain strength back in my legs. I have no sensation in my feet an got arthritis in my right knee from being in a chair for 4yrs. I now walk with a very. Noticeable limp and im in alot of pain the majority of my days, but i can walk. The doctors told me i would never walk again an to get use to being in a wheelchair. Im a living testament, plz an i mean plz dnt ever give up. Keep the faith an 🙏 to God. Never curse him because this is all in his plans ! I will say a prayer for you tonight !!!!

I just feel so helpless by not being there to give a hand.

Te admiro un monton, eres una mujer decidida. Con fuerza de voluntad.

Beautiful girl🌹

You can do it..... Love from India 🇮🇳

Floor to chair and pulling up your pants are so difficult! The hospital made me do floor to chair before they would discharge me. been in a chair since 2000 and floor to chair is so hard but such a great feeling when you do it without help. Makes you feel so independent.

Hi Sandra i can't help 'cause i'm not in your situation but it seems to be difficulte and exhausting. You're not far from it; in a few weeks you'll do it easily Keep on working on it . And, Hello from Britanny !

Tanti auguri di buon anno cara figliola coraggiosa. Non arrenderti mai.

you are strong women!! God blessing you and you family!!!!

Beautiful lady, I couldn't even imagine!! I see that this effort was almost a year ago... Have you had more successes of late?! Thanks for sharing!!!

I feel your frustration I'm a paraplegic never give up you can do it

Hey Sandra. Have you mastered the floor to chair transfer since you posted this video? I was experimenting with it after watching your video. If you tilt to one side and put your elbow on the seat, then simultaneously push your body toward your elbow on the seat side with your opposite hand while pushing your body up with your elbow you can quickly bring your other elbow up onto the seat. Once you have both elbows on the seat it's a cinch to push yourself up into the chair. I actually did this from the floor to my bed which is higher than your chair with my legs straight out in front of me not using them at all.

Muy hermosa..y el mas hermoso ejemplo de vida..Dios siempre estara contigo...muchos exitos

You’re a good girl you’re a strong girl. I speak from experience. I live what I’m talking about. What I’m talking about is life in a wheelchair..

Why she so beautiful tho 🥺🤗💝 and y’all she did it and she could do it it was meant to be like a motivational video to don’t give up

Love ya girl ......... your such a wonderful person....... I wish ya nothing but the best of Life!! Your amazing!! ❤️

Your arms and legs are getting stronger with each effort.

I totally understand. I'm aka left amputee and fell broke my left shoulder. Guess these struggles makes us stronger in the long run. Just keep up the upper core and arm exercises and eventually you'll get that extra little push of strength to pick up lower trunk off the floor. The couch just seems a straighter shot up the front. The wheelchair looks like you can't lift straight up from the floor by the leg rests... make you push further out.. Keep up the good work❤

Sou cadeirante também busque fazer os exersios para o braço vc vai ver tudo se tornará mais fácil moro sozinho e sou independente mais vc só precisa fazer exercício pro braço mais sua força de vontade me admirou mto pois és guerreira antes de eu aprender me virar na vida foi difícil mais hj graças a Deus dependo somente dele pra tudo
