Seating Dynamics Dynamic Footrest One Piece Footboard demonstration

Footboards are sometimes used as an alternative to separate Footplates. When used with our Dynamic Footrests, the dynamic component continues to move readily – even when pressure is exerted unevenly under the feet. The Footboard flips up for transfers.

Using the PN 6100 Back Cane Saw and Drill Jig to prepare to install the DRBi

Some wheelchairs are available with the DRBi already installed. Otherwise, you will need to install the Dynamic Rocker Back by shortening the back-canes by a few inches to achieve the desired back height. We have created a tool, the PN 6100, to help do just this.

How Much is too Much? Choosing Resistance.

The Dynamic Rocker Back Interface (DRBi) moves in response to client force as two elastomers are compressed. The energy stored in the elastomers helps the client to return to an upright starting position. These elastomers can be switched to change the level of resistance.

Megan Warfield-Kimball

“I was recently looking for the HPCPS code for dynamic seating for wheelchair users, but I was only able to find a pediatric dynamic seating code. I know dynamic seating is used for adults as well. I am an occupational therapist by background which is why I got into policy. I want to make sure all people are getting the equipment they need. I understand that there is a new HCPCS Code effective in 2020, E2398, Wheelchair accessory, dynamic positioning hardware for back so I am revising our policy for January 2020 and will list E2398 for the Dynamic Rocker Back interface and use K0108 for the dynamic footrest and dynamic headrest hardware.”

Numotion: Dynamic Seating: Protecting Both Client and Equipment from Harm

This presentation, Dynamic Seating: protecting both client and equipment from harm, was given by Michelle L. Lange, OTR/L, ABDA, ATP/SMS for Numotion on 8/21/18.

Determining Resistance: Dynamic Footrests – Update

Seating Dynamics Dynamic Footrests can move in up to 3 directions. First, the footrests can telescope, allowing movement downward. Second, the footrests can elevate, allowing the knee to extend and the foot to move forward. Third, the footplate can move into plantar and dorsi flexion, allowing ankle movement.

Dynamic Seating & Self-Propulsion: An interview with Joe Gilkerson

Joe Gilkerson, ATP, works with Numotion in Salisbury, Maryland. I had a wonderful phone conversation with him recently in which he shared some dynamic seating experiences he has had with one of his clients, Blake and his journey to self propulsion.
