Course Description

Very well structured.

- Course Participant

Whilst many suppliers offer workshops on powered mobility, these are all provided within the ranges that the supplier has access to supply. At Assistive Technology Australia we will take you through all the features of powered mobility and empower you as a therapist to identify the advantages and disadvantages of chairs.
This one day introduction to powered mobility workshop will look at the different powered mobility bases on the market from entry level basic through to switch controlled rehab models.
Areas covered include:

  • Different drive base options
  • Clinical reasoning in drive base selection
  • Product knowledge and power wheelchair feature update
  • Actuators and functionality of chair
  • Tilt recline and overview of standing
  • Environmental considerations and constraints
  • Access points
  • Integration of environmental controls / communication devices

  • Discuss the use of powered actuators to manage pressure and positioning
  • Identify at least 3 ways a person can independently mobilize a powered mobility base
