TITLE: RESNA Position on Assistive Technology for Lying Posture Care Management (LPCM)

SPEAKERS: Jennifer Hutson, PhD, OTR/L, ATP and Patricia J. Toole, MAT, MsOT, OTR/L, ATP

WEBINAR ABSTRACT: Lying Posture Care Management (LPCM) is a critical aspect of 24-hour Posture Care Management (PCM) that enhances quality of life and prevents secondary complications. The intervention is intended for people with limited movement ability who have difficulty changing positions when lying down. This webinar contains detailed information about RESNA’s recently published position paper entitled “RESNA Position on Assistive Technology for Lying Posture Care Management”. The position paper defines LPCM, reviews current evidence, and outlines best practices to support its implementation. The position paper is meant to be used as an educational resource, guide research and inform policy decisions. In addition to learning about the position paper’s content, webinar attendees will apply what they’ve learned to case-based client examples and discuss strategies for incorporating LPCM into their practice.

LEARNING OUTCOMES:

1. Define Lying Posture Care Management (LPCM)
2. Identify two benefits of using LPCM. 
3. Explain how/why specific populations are suitable candidates for LPCM 
4. Describe the range of assistive technologies (AT) available for LPCM
5. Create aspects of an intervention plan that incorporates LPCM for a select case example
