SUN033 - Positioning for Participation and Function 24-hour Postural Support
This course discusses several options for postural and mobility systems used to address a 24-hour postural care program and activities that a child can be involved in to enhance participation and function.
A child participates in many activities throughout a 24-hour period. The wheelchair or a mobility system is often addressed providing optimal transportation, opportunity for self-initiated movement, and positioning. Evidence has demonstrated the benefits of providing positioning intervention when a child is not in a wheelchair. Positions focusing on lying, sitting, and standing will be addressed. A 24-hour postural care program addresses all activities the child might be involved in. This session addresses options for alternative positioning, toileting, bathing, and sleeping. Physiological and anatomical theoretical principles will be addressed incorporating how equipment can address an individual's postural needs while promoting function and participation throughout a full 24-hour day.
