    Wheelchair-skills training is one of the four steps in wheelchair service provision recommended by the 2023 Wheelchair Provision Guidelines of the World Health Organization. In this webinar, the set of free online resources comprising the Wheelchair Skills Program will be reviewed. These resources include the Wheelchair Skills Test (WST) and its questionnaire version (WST-Q), as well as the Wheelchair Skills Training Program (WSTP).

    Recorded on Wednesday, September 18, 2024 at 12:00 p.m. - 1:00 p.m. Eastern.

    Title: Dynamic Seating: providing movement for clinical benefit

    Speaker: R. Lee Kirby, MD, FRCPC

    Abstract: Wheelchair-skills training is one of the four steps in wheelchair service provision recommended by the 2023 Wheelchair Provision Guidelines of the World Health Organization. In this webinar, the set of free online resources comprising the Wheelchair Skills Program will be reviewed. These resources include the Wheelchair Skills Test (WST) and its questionnaire version (WST-Q), as well as the Wheelchair Skills Training Program (WSTP).

    The research evidence in support of these assessment and training protocols is now extensive (over 200 papers in the peer-reviewed literature). How these simple protocols can be implemented in clinical practice will be demonstrated.

    Learning Outcomes: At the end of session, attendees will be able to:

    1. Describe the WHO wheelchair-service-delivery process.
    2. Describe the components of the Wheelchair Skills Program (WSP) and the extent of research evidence in support of it.
    3. Describe how the WSP assessment and training protocols can be implemented in their own settings.

    Pricing: Free for RESNA members; $45 for non-members

    Completion of this webinar and all required components earns 0.1 IACET CEUs.

  • On Demand Webinar: Dynamic Seating: providing movement for clinical benefit
    Contains 4 Component(s), Includes Credits

    Dynamic seating provides movement within a wheelchair. When the client moves, the dynamic seating components move with the client, maintaining alignment with the seating system for postural support and stability. Clients who extend within the seating system or seek out movement may benefit from dynamic seating. Dynamic components absorb and diffuse force, protecting both the client from pain and injury and the wheelchair seat and frame from damage. Absorbing force may reduce muscle tone. Providing movement can increase alertness and decrease agitation. Movement can also improve function and postural control.

    Learning Outcomes: At the end of session, attendees will be able to:

    1. Participants will be able to List 3 clinical indicators for Dynamic Seating.
    2. Participants will be able to List 3 areas of movement provided by Dynamic Seating.
    3. Participants will be able to list 1 product option for a Dynamic Back, Dynamic Footrests, and Dynamic Head Support Hardware

  • On-Demand Webinar: Unusual barriers to effective pressure relief for clients with neuro-progressive disorders
    Contains 4 Component(s), Includes Credits Recorded On: 06/27/2024

    This webinar will focus on these barriers and potential solutions for this complicated population. Numerous cases will be presented for discussion.

    Speaker: Amber L. Ward, MS, OTR/L, BCPR, ATP/SMS, FAOTA

    Abstract: There can be barriers for clients with progressive disorders who are power wheelchair users and their caregivers that prohibit them from performing pressure relief. These are often less common reasons and may not be solved by more education about pressure relief. This webinar will focus on these barriers and potential solutions for this complicated population. Numerous cases will be presented for discussion. 

    Learning Outcomes:

    At the end of session, attendees will be able to:

    1. Identify at least 3 barriers to adequate pressure relief in the neuro-progressive population. 
    2. Identify at least 3 solutions for management of pressure relief in the neuro-progressive population. 
    3. Discuss the multidisciplinary or community providers who can provide management solutions and how to find them.
