This session will review assessment criteria required for recommendation of a successful ultra-light rigid wheelchair (K0005). Key measurements as well as functional considerations help to determine optimal configuration pertaining to the frame dimensions and wheel placement. We will follow a rider through the evaluation and procurement process from start to finish to demonstrate optimal configuration for best functional outcomes.
Learning Outcomes:
- Participant will identify 5 anatomical measurements that assist with successful wheelchair configuration
- Participant will list 3 things that STF height will impact for the wheelchair rider
- Participant will list 3 factors that help determine optimal seat width for a rider
- Participant will list 2 functional considerations when determining COG
