    I'm so sorry....  I've just Google your condition and can't understand any of it.....  Medication brain! (and lots of long words!) 
    Do you mind putting it in an easier language?

    Hi @dani86 have you tried a banana board? or transfer sheet? Also I know that some people find a leg lifter useful for getting their legs to follow their bottom :)
