Q

What standard manual wheelchair has the most basic adjustability?

A

K0004

17
Q

What standard manual wheelchair has variable adjustability?

A

Tilt-in-space

18
Q

What standard manual wheelchair is the most customizable?

A

K0005

19
Q

What wheelchairs are indicated for short term use?

A

K0001, K0002, K0003, K0004

20
Q

What wheelchairs are indicated for long term use?

A

K0005, tilt-in-space

21
Q

Generally describe K0001-K0003 chairs

A

Heavier, basic manual wheelchairs with minimal adjustability and are most appropriate for short-term use

22
Q

What is the standard seat height from the floor for a standard wheelchair?

A

18 - 20”

23
Q

What is the standard seat height from the floor for a hemi wheelchair and why?

A

17.5 - 18.5” to allow for self propulsion with LE

24
Q

When would a pt qualify for a K0004?

A

Qualify for a basic manual wheelchair, but requires a seat width, depth, or height that can’t be accommodated by a basic chair

25
Q

How long will a pt with a K0004 chair spend in the chair, and what is their functional ability?

A

Will use a wheelchair more than two hours per day, and they are unable to perform all ALDs efficiently in a basic chair

26
Q

How is qualification for a K0005 established?

A

Functionally, not based on diagnosis

27
Q

What will justification for a K0005 include?

A

Ruling out why a lower level chair will not meet the pt needs and a description of the client’s routine activities and whether they are fully independent in the use of their chair

28
Q

When would a tilt-in-space chair be appropriate?

A

Dependent for mobility, unable to perform independent pressure relief, requires gravity-assisted positioning, requires postural support, goal is to increase sitting tolerance, improved sight due to forward head posture, will benefit from trunk support for respiratory function, requires safe positioning for gravity-assisted swallowing

29
Q

What are three conditions that will lead to justifying a power wheeledchair?

A
  1. Unable to propel manual chair
  2. Home has adequate access
  3. Use will significantly improve ability to perform MRADLs
30
Q

What is the most basic and least adjustable powered mobility option?

A

Scooters

31
Q

What would lead to ruling out a scooter?

A

Poor trunk strength, difficulty with transfers, poor endurance, existing postural abnormalities, large turning radius

32
Q

What are the 5 characteristics of a group 1 powered wheelchair?

A
  1. Most basic
  2. Narrower turning radius than scooter
  3. No postural abnormalities or risk for pressure injury
  4. Basic seating with no extra stability or protection
  5. No power seat functions
33
Q

What are the 6 characteristics of a group 2 powered wheelchair?

A
  1. Characterized by “captain’s seating”
  2. Unable to safely transfer, operate, and maintain postural stability in scooter
  3. Home does not have adequate access for operating scooter
  4. Pt able to safely operate or have a caregiver willing to operate
  5. Improve ability to participate in MRADLs
  6. Can include tilt, recline, or ventilator mounted
34
Q

What is the additional criteria for a group 3 powered wheelchair?

A

Pt has a neurological condition, myopathy, congenital skeletal deformity

35
Q

What are the 5 benefits of a group 3 chair compared to a group 2 chair?

A
  1. Allow integration of rehab seating, better wheel suspension
  2. Multiple drive control options
  3. Option of power tilt, recline, legs, elevate
  4. Greater obstacle climb and battery
  5. Tighter turning radius, increased speed
36
Q

What are the two additional criteria for a group 4 powered wheelchair?

A
  1. Improved suspension to minimize pain and triggers of spasticity when driving
  2. Requires stable base to safely use functions of seat elevation and standing
37
Q

What three characteristics are included in a group 4 chair than a group 3 chair?

A
  1. Designed for stability to accommodate power tilt, recline, elevating legs, standing
  2. Suspension designed for multiple terrains and can decrease transmission of bumps and vibration
  3. Batteries last longer
38
Q

What are the thee options for power wheelchair controls?

A

Joystick, head switch, sip and puff
