Overview
You can’t get that funded! If the client can move, they will just extend more! Or they will move out of position! And, there isn’t any evidence that this intervention is beneficial. Are these facts or myths? Dynamic seating is movement which occurs within the seat and/or wheelchair frame in response to force from the client. Dynamic components absorb force which, in turn, assists the client back to a starting position. This course will explore both myths and facts!
Learning Objectives

- The participant will be able to list 3 common myths about Dynamic Seating.
- The participant will be able to explain why each of these myths is inaccurate..
