To effectively grip and provide support when using a sliding board, where should the hole be located?

The most effective location for the hole on a sliding board is indeed at the patient's destination. This design allows for optimal grip and support when transferring. When the hole is situated at the destination, it provides a straightforward and secure way for the caregiver or the patient to maneuver the board during the transfer, facilitating easier and more controlled movements.

Having the hole at the destination enables the user to pull or control the sliding board more effectively, ensuring that the transfer is smooth and safe without unnecessary strain or instability. This placement helps maintain balance and minimizes the risk of accidents during the transfer procedure.

In contrast, placing the hole near the end of the board, in the center, or at the start could hinder the efficiency of the transfer process and may not provide sufficient control or support, potentially leading to safety issues during the transfer.
