Alternative Driving Methods for Power Wheelchair Mobility
While some clients require a power wheelchair for independent mobility, not all can use a standard joystick. Clients with paralysis, muscle weakness, increased muscle tone, and uncontrolled movements can often drive a power wheelchair successfully when matched to the most appropriate alternative driving method. This course will systematically explore power wheelchair proportional and non-proportional alternative driving methods, including specific features, to match these complex client needs. Case studies will be used throughout.

New Insights in Flexibility Training: What Healthcare Professionals Should Know!
Over the past decade, there has been emerging research that provides new insight into flexibility training. Researchers have provided updated evidence on the efficacy of popular flexibility techniques such as self-myofascial rolling, static stretching, and dynamic stretching. This new evidence has created suggested guidelines for integrated pre-exercise warm-up, post-exercise cool-down, and dedicated flexibility training sessions. This presentation is for the professional who desires an evidence-based update on flexibility training.
