This course provides a practical and concise approach for successfully evaluating and recommending a wheelchair. This course is organized to guide the clinician through a logical sequence in the wheelchair prescription process using a real world perspective. The therapist is taken through the necessary steps of patient evaluation, choice of wheelchair components, documentation, and funding using a letter of medical necessity. The course emphasizes history taking skills that can provide a wealth of information resulting in success in wheelchair prescription. Included in this course is a small portable text, small enough for the clinician to carry around in the clinic, hospital, school, nursing home, or home health setting for quick reference . (Note: print is small.) A CD complements this course to illustrate key concepts in wheelchair prescription. Written by a PT and published in 2010, this course contains the latest research available. A valuable course for both PT’s and OT’s.
