In this Cubro CoLabs webinar we’ve teamed up with Lauren Hunter the Director of Clinical Services from Linds Rehab.
One of the hardest wheelchair users to provide postural supports for are the ones who move! Any therapist prescribing wheelchairs will confidently tell you that we must start at the pelvis. But do we truly understand what it means to create a stable base support? What happens to the base of support when the wheelchair user moves in and out of positions to function? What components on the wheelchair frame and seating system can we use to enhance participation for the individual?
Join us as we journey through the assessment process to make our client centered outcomes match the features we prescribe in available product.
Who should attend?
This webinar has been created for Occupational Therapists, Physiotherapists, and clinicians who would like to gain a better understanding of wheelchair seating.
After watching this webinar, a certificate of attendance will be provided to support your CPD.
