This one-hour recorded webinar covers clinical applications of anatomy and biomechanics relative to seating to facilitate clinical decision making and enhanced justification for selecting seating solutions. By looking at the body as a kinetic chain, we can better understand the impact each joint, muscle and tendon has on the rest of the body, and can therefore address the cause of a postural deviation rather than just the symptom.

This live webinar is geared towards wheelchair prescribers including occupational therapists, physiotherapists, rehab engineers, and wheelchair suppliers and manufacturers. Using standardized language and best-practice guidelines, we will be discussing the key features of seat cushions and how to determine an individual’s needs based on the findings of the hands-on assessment.

This one-hour recorded webinar will help participants deepen their understanding of the anatomy of the chest wall and the relationship between the ribs, spine, and pelvis, particularly in those with shape distortion, related to various laying positions. This information will then be used to determine effective solutions for managing or improving postural asymmetries through night-time or alternative/supported supine positioning, while also exploring the relationship between sitting and lying.

This one hour recorded webinar covers the critical considerations related to skin integrity preservation that we have to manage daily as we are relied upon to make recommendations for seating of any kind for our service users. From aetiology through the hands on clinical assessment while adhering to current best practices, we will take the viewer through key things to consider in sitting, (chair and bathroom) as well as in lying and whilst participating in out of chair activities.

During this pre-recorded webinar we discuss strategies for providing 24 hour postural care, seating and mobility solutions for children. Topics covered to provoke critical thinking will include: Postural development, anatomy and biomechanics as it relates to positioning in lying, sitting and standing for children. The value of early intervention from a positioning and related participation/function/mobility perspective will be highlighted throughout. Discussed also will be considerations for growth, development and tone as it relates to the paediatric assessment process. Each viewer will leave this presentation with immediately applicable ideas.
