Clinical Considerations for Mobility Base and Seating Function Selection

Course Overview

This course will examine the algorithmic approach to mobility base and power positioning component selection while also discussing key objective measures and how those measures lead to equipment recommendations. This framework will provide clinicians with the tools necessary to effectively evaluate and document the medical need for MAE intervention and assist the supplier ATP in matching an individual's identified needs to the technology interventions.
