Vive 360° Pivot Disc - Patient Transfer Device for Elderly & Disabled - Swivel Turning Board 360 Degree Rotation - Handicap Senior & Stroke Disability Aid - Rotating Lazy Susan Turning Assist Pad

A lot of reviews are nonsense. One person stands on the disc. The second person is doing all the work! The second person needs to be strong enough to hold up the one on the disc, stabilize them, turn them.My mother has partial paralysis and cannot currently walk. We plant both feet on the disc as she sits. Stand her up with our feet on the disc to stabilize and prevent any wobbling or spinning. Holding onto my mother, we control the spinning and when to stop so she can be sitting again.The second person or “spinner” needs to able to fully support the one on the disc or it’s simply not safe.

Bought this to help transition my elderly Mom from the wheelchair, bed and toilet. For the few times that she's feeling weak...this has been a great addition to our transition moments. You do have to be careful in that this thing swings freely and fast. I have to use my feet to stabilize it while she stands on it. Then I am able to swing her left or right depending upon the transition needed. Overall, I would recommend this for use. But, be sure to ask your Physical Therapist how to properly use it for the safety of you and your person.

Entirely too loose… expected some resistance. Like slipping on ice… was not safe to use.

The disk is large, well made and sturdy. A drawback we found is that compared to others we've used, it spins much too freely. For patients with poor balance or who have difficulty following instructions, we prefer a disk with a little resistance to slow the rotation. I use my foot as a brake but even then, with the large diameter and low friction, it's difficult to maintain adequate control and safety.

Had to return because it was not safe to use on a non ambulatory patient.

I have a 96 year old mother with muscle weakness and essential tremors. She can sometimes stand for a short period of time, but cannot actually move her feet. Having this allows me to turn her enough to transfer her from one seated position to another. It saves me from having to lift her, which hurts her....and me. Foot placement is key though. If not placed in the center of the disc, the spin is off, making it difficult to be in the right position when turned.

I ordered this because it was getting harder & harder to get my disabled mother out of her bed or recliner and into her wheelchair. THIS little pivoting disk has been a life saver! I use a transfer swing & carefully lift her onto the disk, turn her & presto! She's moved without pain, fear or worries!

works for getting elderly people with limited mobility to turn in a chair, from wheelchair to bed
