Quick Class: Dynamic Seating – General Clinical Indicators
Dynamic seating has many potential applications. Dynamic components absorb and diffuse force, protecting the wheelchair user from injury caused by sustained and/or repeated forces and reducing damage to the seating system and wheelchair.
Quick Class: Dynamic Seating – Determining Which Dynamic Footrest Movements are Indicated
Dynamic Footrests provide movement in 3 directions: telescoping downward, knee extension, and ankle plantar flexion. This Quick Class discusses how to determine which movement to select for an individual client.
Quick Class: Dynamic Seating – Assessment
It is not typically realistic to trial Dynamic Seating components as the frame may need to be modified. Instead, we can simulate the effects of Dynamic Seating during the assessment to determine if these components are indicated.
Quick Class: Dynamic Seating – Footrest Resistance
The optimal level of resistance is critical to the functioning of Dynamic Footrests. In this Quick Class, we will review how to determine resistance at the telescoping and elevating features.
Quick Class: Dynamic Seating – Durability
Dynamic Seating is often used to prevent equipment breakage, specifically the wheelchair frame and seating system. The Dynamic components absorb strong, repeated, sudden, and/or sustained forces, hence protecting vulnerable areas of the seating and mobility base. But what about the Dynamic Components themselves? Just how durable are these?
Quick Class: Dynamic Seating – Improving Function
Dynamic Seating can improve function, including medical functioning. This Quick Class reviews specifics supported by research.
