Hoyer Lifts
I used a Hoyer lift at school, but my family/caregivers have always lifted me. Recently, however, my grandma has been having a touger time lifting me. This means I’ll have to make a transition to a lift. I didn’t care for the lift at school for two reasons.
1. It wasn’t supportive enough for my neck and back, therefore making it a two-person job. Someone operating the lift, and someone supporting my back.
2. It was far more time consuming than lifting me.
Obviously many in the SMA community use lifts, but I’m wondering how/if you avoid the issues I mentioned above? Do you have a certain kind of sling? Have you found a certain type of lift to work well? We’re looking at a ceiling lift.
