During the workshop, we will gain a deep understanding of the principles of biomechanics and how they are applied to seating posture, learn how to effectively translate assessment findings into practical product parameters, develop problem-solving skills through real case scenarios and hone clinical justification skills that are essential for crafting successful funding applications. We’ll also have numerous opportunities for practical, hands-on exploration of seating and positioning equipment where you'll be able to seamlessly integrate your acquired knowledge into product set up and clinical practice. Get tips and tricks from professionals who use the equipment every day as you learn the nuances of adjusting wheelchair seating for optimal client positioning. You’ll receive individualised instruction and feedback during practical activities. 📅 Brisbane | 4th and 5th June 2024 📅 Melbourne | 15th and 16th October 2024 📅 Newcastle | 13th and 14th November 2024 To learn more or to secure your spot, visit https://hubs.la/Q02mFws40

There's a few places left in our 'All About Seating' two day workshop in Newcastle on the 11th and 12th October. Join Kate Pain (GTK), Joana Santiago (Medifab) and the GTK Team where we'll learn how to conduct a thorough MAT evaluation, understand and apply principles and biomechanics as applied to seating posture, and translate assessment findings into product parameters. You'll also develop problem solving skills based on real case scenarios, develop clinical justification skills to write a successful application for funding and integrate knowledge learnt into product set up and clinical practice. And that's just day one! One day two it's time to get hands on with tools. Lose your fear of Allen keys and learn how to adjust wheelchair seating for optimal positioning for your client. We’ll provide you with your own seating tool set to keep, show you how to use them correctly and how to get the best results for your clients. We will be naming wheelchair and seating components and describe the possible adjustments to each, and describing our clinical reasoning for optimal positioning of wheelchair and seating components. All participants will receive a backpack and tool kit to take home. To learn more or to secure your spot, https://hubs.la/Q022tDKm0

One of the things we cover in our ‘All About Seating’ two day workshop is how to develop seating and positioning goals, with Kate giving us a little snippet of the discussion during our Sydney workshop earlier this year. As well as looking at goals, Kate and Joana Santiago (Medifab) teach how to conduct a thorough MAT evaluation, how to understand and apply principles and biomechanics as applied to seating posture, and how to translate assessment findings into product parameters. You’ll also develop problem solving skills based on real case scenarios, develop clinical justification skills to write a successful application for funding and integrate knowledge learnt into product set up and clinical practice.

This Permobil M5 is nearing delivery, featuring power elevating and extending legrests. To ensure the perfect fit for the user, the footplate is equipped with custom padding or spacers. In some cases, these additions are necessary when the desired legrest length cannot be achieved through wheelchair hardware adjustments alone. The spacers are constructed using durable closed cell foam with a robust ABS plastic top, ensuring resilience to withstand daily use. This M5 also boasts power elevating and extending legrests, allowing users to effortlessly adjust their leg positions for both comfort and functionality. The power elevating feature enables individuals to raise or lower the footplates, effectively distributing pressure on the legs, enhancing overall comfort, improving circulation, and preventing any unintentional shifting from their preferred seating position. Even a slight one centimetre adjustment in footplate height can make a significant difference in reducing discomfort experienced in the legs, hips, and back for many individuals. We understand that everyone has unique requirements, and that's why we're committed to providing personalised solutions to ensure the utmost comfort, functionality, and independence.

It's show time. The finals have begun

Come and be part of our upcoming clinical education events this spring!

Who hates when the harness straps fall over all the place when you're trying to secure or release a chest harness? ✋We do! That's why we love a good harness set up where the straps stay put when you're working on positioning the harness. The curved edge
Who hates when the harness straps fall over all the place when you're trying to secure or release a chest harness? ✋We do! That's why we love a good harness set up where the straps stay put when you're working on positioning the harness. The curved edges of these Bodypoint Harness Strap Guides help to hold the harness straps in position, so that they're ready and waiting for when you want to secure the harness. It's such a tiny feature, but we're sure this chair's user and their carers will appreciate the ease of use each time they use the harness - and that's why we pay attention to the little things on a person's wheelchair or equipment.
