Michelle L. Lange, OTR/L, ABDA, ATP/SMS

This case study, published in the Disability and Rehabilitation: Assistive Technology Journal Vol 16. Issue 8, follows a single participant with cerebral palsy through 15 years of wheelchair seating interventions. Positioning challenges within the wheelchair seating system included significantly increased muscle tone, extension patterns, extraneous movement, loss of body position in relation to the seating system, loss of alignment with other assistive technologies, high energy expenditure, client injury and pain, and equipment damage. The purpose of this article is to present clinical changes seen in this participant during a progression of dynamic seating interventions.”
