Alternative Driving Methods for Power Wheelchair Mobility
Presented by Michelle Lange, OTR/L, ABDA, ATP/SMS
Live WebinarMon, Nov 17, 2025 at 6:00 pm EST
Course: #5278Level: Advanced2 Hours
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.

An emergency action plan should be specific to your organization, venues, resources, and personnel. Sports medicine professionals must be competent in developing, implementing, and reviewing EAPs to protect athletes and reduce liability for the individual healthcare professional and institution. The instructor will provide an overarching review of the literature regarding the management of establishing emergency action plans to allow the participant to become proficient in establishing procedures and identifying personnel and resources to create EAPs.
