About the event
3:00 PM: Balancing Function and Independence: Clinical Considerations for Power Adjustable Seat
Heigh and Anterior Tilt (0.2 CEU) Power wheelchairs are designed to augment function when functional
mobility is compromised or lost. For end users with complex needs, the power wheelchair can also augment
repositioning and pressure relief. This course will dive into the various options for power positioning, clinical
benefits, various access methods, and the research supporting the need for power positioning technology.
5:00 PM Session 3: Clinical Considerations for Mobility and Seating Selection for the Geriatric and
Chronic Deconditioning Population Part 1 (0.1 CEU) Ambulatory aids, manual wheelchairs, scooters
(POVs), and power wheelchairs are designed to augment function when functional mobility is compromised
or lost. For many geriatric end-users there is not only medical diagnosis and presentation, but also aging with
a disability, additional comorbidities, on top of general deconditioning related to age that all play significant
roles in the relationship to the end-user and their mobility equipment. This course will focus on the goals,
focus, and recommendations for this population.
