The transfer board should be positioned under the patient's thigh,in front of the drive wheel,so that it extends from the wheelchair seat to the bed.The wheelchair will usually need to be angled next to the bed with its armrest removed for this placement.The transfer board should not be placed only under the buttocks.This can result in the patient sliding forward off of the transfer board during the transfer.
