Recovery context
Why this matters for your recovery
For tub-shower combos, a transfer board lets you slide across the tub wall instead of stepping over it — a common setup after stroke when leg strength or balance is limited.
Often used for Left-side weakness (hemiparesis)
Right hemisphere strokes may also affect attention/neglect — see vision and cognition lists.
Often used for Right-side weakness (hemiparesis)
Combine with aphasia supports if language is also affected.
Use caution if
Board is not a seat — keep weight on bench or tub floor OT should confirm length and tub style
