Your Manual Into Manual Wheelchair Scripting
Want to learn the difference between a custom configured anda custom-built frame? Does it even matter? Understanding how configuration impacts on ADL participation, functional mobility and posture are essential when prescribing manual wheelchairs for active users. In this workshop, you will explore a range of set ups and configurations and experience firsthand the differences these have on wheelchair propulsion. We will consider the biomechanics of the user alongside the design and configuration of a manual wheelchair, to ensure we appreciate and understand the importance of an individualised fit for end users.
OBJECTIVES:
1. Identify the difference between custom configured and custom-built frames
2. Understand the importance of propulsion technique with reference to shoulder integrity
3. Understand the importance of the rear wheel position and how we align this to the user
