Improving skeletal alignment, postural control, and enhancing movement to enable participation
What are the goals of a mobility systems.
100
Observing the posture and position the client is currently in before adjustments are made
What is baseline position
100
Determining the areas of pressure while fitting for cushions.
What is pressure mapping
100
Placed lateral or medial to the thighs to control abduction or adduction
What are thigh supports
100
The amount of inches added after measuring the widest part of the hips or thighs to avoid rubbing or pressure
What is 1-2 inches
200
The team member who informs about available and emerging durable medical equipment and its capabilities and properties.
Who is the assistive technology vendor
200
Client uses one or both hands to maintain a seated position. Pelvic and trunk support is required of the seating system to free the hands for activities
What is a hands-dependent sitter
200
The body part that positioned correctly is key for stability
What is the pelvis
200
supports the back of the head and is positioned at the occiput
What is a head rest
200
The ideal positions of the foot rests
What is a 2 inch clearance from the floor
300
The team member who provides seating and mobility system evaluation, selection of systems, and wheelchair training
Who is the OT or PT
300
lient lacks the ability to sit without support. Total body support is required of the seating system for posture and repositioning
What is a propped sitter
300
Type of cushion that is low cost, cheap, soft and pliable, however heat and moisture can build up
What is a foam cushion
300
placed lateral to the trunk and below the armpit to facilitate trunk stability and prevent or slow scoliosis
What is thoracic supports
300
Propper way to measure seat depth
What is measuring from the base of the popliteal space and subtracting 1-2 inches
400
The determinant of who is available to assist the client in using the system in each of the physical environments in which it is to be used, when are they available, and how skilled are they in assisting the client and in maintaining the seating and mobility system
What is the social context
400
One side of the pelvis is lower than the other side, which can lead to scoliotic posture and pressure ulcers on the ischial tuberosity
What is pelvic obliquity
400
These cushions incorporate a combination of materials, typically foam and gel
What is a hybrid
400
is positioned at the front of the pelvis to limit pelvic tilt, rota- tion, or obliquity
What is a pelvic stabilizer
400
Too much of this angle can make transfers difficult and cause pressure
What is seat angle/ dump
500
Client factors including how much does the client weighs, deformities, loss of sensation, pressure ulcers, pain, abnormal muscle tone, or visual loss or deficits
What is the clients body structure and functions
500
The pelvis rotates laterally, with the thighs moving to the other side
What is windswept deformity
500
These cushions are lightweight; they provide even pressure relief but also reduce postural stability
What is an air filled cushion
500
Situated below the top and above the bot- tom of the breastbone
What is an anterior trunk support
500
Supports the upper extremities, provide leverage for pushing up for pressure release, and assist in maintaining postural alignment
