AB KommerKommer,  45  years  old,  was  hit  by  a  car  while  riding  his  bicycle,  resulting  in  an  injury  at  the  T5  spinal  cord  level.  His  condition  is  medically  and  physically  stable,  but  the  extent  of  the  damage  to  the  spinal  cord  is  still  being  determined.  In  his  rehabilitation,  he  has  just  started  learning  to  transfer  to  and  from  surfaces  of  different  heights.  What  factors  will  help  you  determine  which  transfer  technique  may  be  best  for  Kommer  to  use  when  moving  between  the  chair  and  the  floor?  What  other  up-and-down  transfers  might  he  have  to  perform?  What  guarding  techniques  will  be  needed  for  safety  while  he  is  learning?
