This webinar is on anterior supports looking at strategies for trunk scoliosis, obliquity and rotation as well as kyphosis, lordosis, and trunk instability. The emphasis is on Bodypoint products for pelvic and anterior positioning.
Recording available on request. Please email marketing@alliedmedical.co.nz.
This webinar from Bodypoint's Kathleen Simpson was on pelvic positioning - where secondary positioning starts once the primary surfaces are correct. This is important when the client has the right chair fitted with the right seat, back, and cushion but still has postural challenges. Kathleen will discuss strategies for belt angles to prevent sliding and posterior pelvic tilt, belt angles for asymmetric postures and anterior pelvic tilt.

Over the years, the wheelchair and seating evaluation has become a very specialized process that focusses on matching the most appropriate equipment with the client’s postural and functional requirements. It is an important part of the rehabilitation plan, but often has a strong focus on the equipment itself.
A properly fitting wheelchair can increase a user’s function within the environment physically and socially and can improve overall quality of life. On the contrary, a poor fitting wheelchair and sitting posture can negatively affect the user’s health. An important aspect to proper fitting is to understand the biomechanics of the pelvis and spine and how they integrate to promote stability and function in with the seated client. Getting back to basics.
Learning Objectives:
At the end of this course the attendee will be able to:
- Identify spinal and pelvic landmarks crucial to seated posture.
- Understand changes to spinal and pelvic anatomy as it pertains to development
- Learn how external seating and positioning devices can influence posture and mobility
