5. Assisted Standing and Transfers with the Hoyer Up
The following guidance applies regardless of the surface you are transferring to, whether it be a
chair, wheelchair, bed, toilet or commode.
When transferring to or from a wheeled/movable surface such as a commode, wheelchair
or bed, ensure the brakes (of that surface) are applied to avoid any inadvertent movement
and ensure a safer, more stable transfer.
Ask the patient to grasp the crossbar and prepare to raise themselves to a standing position. Offer
words of encouragement and provide assistance as required.
NOTE: The patient's knees should remain in contact with the knee pad throughout the standing and
transfer process.
Once the patient is standing, rotate the swing-away seat pads into the seated position before asking
the patient to carefully lower themselves into a seated position.
