Choosing the right sling isn’t just about comfort—it’s about safety, dignity, and independence. In this episode, we break it down using the PEO model (Person, Environment, and Occupation) to help you make informed decisions.

🛑 Avoid common mistakes that lead to discomfort, unsafe transfers, or even injuries. We’ll cover:

• How to assess a person’s needs (body shape, weight, mobility level).
• Why the Functional Independence Measure (FIM) matters in sling selection.
• The importance of the right hoist & sling combination.
• Real stories of what happens when sling assessments go right… and wrong.

💡 Want to learn more about FIM? We have a detailed blog explaining how it works and how to match it to mobility levels:
