Description

ON-DEMAND WEBINAR PURCHASE

Presented by: Jessica Tsotsoros and Karen Rispin

Occupational therapy clinicians champion the idea of appropriate provision of wheelchairs to provide greater participation and inclusion in family, school, work, and community. With limited time and resources, tracking this effort may be challenging.

This webinar will provide an overview of two freely available validated measures assessing the maintenance condition of the wheelchair and how well the wheelchair supports the person within their environment and daily activities. Once familiar with the tools, the information can be completed in less than fifteen minutes by the wheelchair professional. The information gathered can be used clinically or to provide information to insurance companies or other stakeholders

After taking part in this webinar, participants will be able to:

  1. Summarize the benefit of using validated measures for gathering person-centred data to improve their practices of wheelchair provision.
  2. Describe the Wheelchair Components Questionnaire (WCQ) as a method for a wheelchair professional to provide validated data on the maintenance condition of a wheelchair.
  3. Describe the Wheelchair Interface Questionnaire (WIQ) as a method for a wheelchair professional to provide validated data on the function of the wheelchair for the person and their environment.
