Q

wheelchairs for moderately active lifestyles, wider range of sizes and options, more durable yet lighter frame

A

high strength light weight

18
Q

wheelchairs for clients weighing over 250 lbs or who demonstrate severe spasticity

A

heavy duty

19
Q

wheelchairs are available in man sizes and have a large variety of options. they are very light in weight and durable. additionally the adjustable plates allow for a lot

A

ultralight manual wheelchairs

20
Q

adjustable axle plates on ultralight wheelchairs allow for

A

optimal placement of rear wheels for efficient propulsion
adjustable seat to floor height for tranfers/foot propelling
bucketing (slight tilt) of the wheelchair frame for improved postural control/stability

21
Q

provide the client who has poor trunk control or who is unable to reposition with the following benefits
gravity assisted positioning to enhance head and trunk control
pressure relief by transferring weight from the buttocks to the trunk
decrease spasticity by maintaining a fixed hip angle

A

tilt in space manual wheelchair

22
Q

are generally ultralight or tilt in space manual wheelchairs that have the additional advantage of being able to be modified for growth

A

pediatric manual wheelchairs

23
Q

how is modificaiton for growth accomplished in pediatric manual wheelchairs

A

the cross frames can be replaced to achieve more seat width
the back of the wheelchair frame can be moved posteriorly on the wheelchair frame to achieve more seat depth
the wheels can be moved forward or back on the wheelchair frame to adjust the center of gravity and properly position the rear wheels for efficient propulsion

24
Q

indications for the use of a power wheelchair

A

upper extremity weakness, spacticity or paralysis
limited upper extremity ROM or purposeful movement
decreased endurance as a result of weak trunk musculature and prolong sitting
the need to be able to independently, perform ADLs and explore environment
rapidly progressive disease that would result in a manual wheelchair not being a cost-effective alternative

25
Q

clients with long term disabilities often require more aggressive support than that offered by a sling seat and back due to

A

weakness of trunk musculature
spasticity/abnormal muscle tone
orthopedic deformity of the trunk, spine and or pelvis

26
Q

clients with long term disabilities are often at high risk for pressure sores due to

A

absent or decreased sensation
an inability to reposition themselves to relieve pressure
pelvic deformities
incontinence

27
Q

solutions for pressure problems

A

a pressure relieving seat cushion
pressure mapping to determine the most appropriate seat cushion for a client with ongoing pressure problems
a tilt in space seat frame
a reclining back

28
