As therapists, we've all painfully witnessed evidence of poor seating and positioning in our communities (a grocery store visit will almost always offer up at least one instance). But how is it possible that so many fall through the cracks? This course will examine how we can apply the basic therapy principles with which we are already fully familiar to the process of assessing and prescribing wheelchair seating for our patients. You will learn how to prescribe seating that addresses not only the patient's ability to effectively access and move around their environment, but also their comfort and postural stability while seated. You will be able to ensure efficient mobility while at the same time providing the support needed to keep the patient free from injury and pain. We will go over available options for making this happen, including seating components, accessibility options, accessories, and skin protection devices. We will discuss not only basicseating design for the average user, but also tackle more difficult cases, including spasticity, contractures, and posturalabnormalities. Note that this course is focused on proper seating and positioning for wheelchair users and does not address determination of wheelchair type (power versus manual) or mobility of the wheelchair itself.
Target Audience: Physical Therapists, Physical Therapist Assistants, Occupational Therapists, Occupational Therapy Assistants

excellent live webinar course, presentation and effective communication. i would recommend using white font on slides that contain pictures, rather than gray, as the text can be difficult to read against images in the background, even when viewing with reading glasses.
