Introduction to Wheelchair and Seating Workshop (repeat workshop)

Posted Saturday 07 December 2024 | Medical Aids Subsidy Scheme

Learn about how to prescribe wheelchairs and seating.

In this workshop we take you through the World Health Organization’s eight step process of wheelchair prescription:

  1. referral
  2. assessment
  3. selection
  4. funding and ordering
  5. wheelchair preparation
  6. fitting
  7. user training
  8. follow-up.

Consolidate your clinical reasoning and practical skills with manual, power and tilt-in-space wheelchairs. Features include the simple mechanical assessment tool (MAT), case studies of selection and fitting, and hands-on experience with a range of wheelchairs and seating options.
