Quick Class: Dynamic Seating – Improving Postural Control and Stability

Dynamic seating provides resistance to movement initiated by the wheelchair user, usually through spring or elastomer type mechanisms or other resistive, but mobile components.

Increased muscle strength can, in turn, improve both postural control and functioning.
