SEAT005b - Matching Evaluation Results to Seating Interventions - Part 2
This second module provides a comprehensive look at the types and use of various contours and angles in the seat support, back support, lower extremity and upper extremity supports, as well as how to use these to address the postural needs of the pelvis, lower extremities, trunk and head. You should complete the four modules in order as they provide a continuum of knowledge. You should also complete the following courses BEFORE starting this series: SEAT001 - The Biomechanics of Seating and SEAT003 - The Mat Evaluation for Wheeled Mobility and Seating.
