Synopsis
Aiming to meet the specific needs of clients of all ages who have a variety of physical challenges, this text looks at wheelchair mobility and the principles of seating. It provides diagnosis-specific assessment information and covers both medical and technical issues related to persons with: cerebral palsy; muscular dystrophy; spina bifida; head injury; spinal cord lesions; and special needs associated with ageing. An appendix provides a document prepared by a panel of RESNA experts (an interdisciplinary association for the advancement of rehabilitation and assistive technologies), presenting relevant terminology. Listings of technical and printed resources assist in background research.
