About this title

Synopsis

The right equipment for seating and mobility needs can enhance the health, independence, and comfort of people who use wheelchairs. Seating and Mobility for Persons with Physical Disabilities is an invaluable guide to evaluating the needs of these wheel chair-bound individuals. For years, the staff of the Rehabilitation Engineering Program at the University of Tennessee at Memphis has conducted workshops for professionals worldwide. Much of the book's material evolved from the lectures and handouts prepared for these courses. With each workshop and seminar, it became evident that many professionals need training in the basics-that the technology is available, but the question is, how should clients be evaluated and helped to decide the most appropriate technology for them? The content of this 300-page manual is geared toward helping clinicians develop the skills to be good evaluators and problem-solvers for their clients who require seating and mobility technology. The book reflects the collective experiences and opinions of the five authors-Elaine Trefler, M.Ed., OTR, FAOTA; Douglas A. Hobson, Ph.D.; Susan Johnson Taylor, B.S., OTR/L; Lynn C. Monahan, M.P.A., OTR; and C. Greg Shaw, M.Sc. Based on their extensive clinical experience and research findings, this text covers:

Disability-specific guidelines for fitting and prescribing equipment

The broad range of technology currently available

How to determine the type of mobility device(s) a person needs

The biomechanics of movement, pressure management, position, and stability

RESNA's Standardization of Terminology and Descriptive Methods for Specialized Seating Seating and Mobility for Persons with Physical Disabilities can help therapists provide the right equipment for their clients.

Store Description

I have a large inventory of children's books, cookbooks, collectibles, classics, first editions, signed books, history, biographies, science, textbooks, and more. Each book to me is a "precious jewel" and I try and describe it, giving you a good understanding of its content, and also its condition. One example, I have a John Muir book where he has written in the margins all through it to correct mistakes made by the publisher. (this was confirmed by John Muir historic site for me) I have over 50,000 books and some are quite rare from 1800's to 2020's. I've been collecting books for over 50 years and now am a spry 80 and going strong. I try and get books out same day as order comes in and love it when someone writes that they's been looking for a book for years and finally found it with me!
