Abstract
General purpose: To review the biomechanics of posture, appropriate means to configure a wheelchair to permit proper postural support, and common problems arising from improper wheelchair fit.
Target audience: This continuing education activity is intended for physicians, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, and nurses with an interest in skin and wound care.
Learning objectives/outcomes: After participating in this educational activity, the participant will:1. Synthesize the concepts influencing proper wheelchair fit.2. Identify the biomechanics of posture as they apply to wheelchair fit.3. Summarize the appropriate assessment guidelines for determining and preparing to adjust wheelchair fit.
期刊介绍：
A peer-reviewed, multidisciplinary journal, Advances in Skin & Wound Care is highly regarded for its unique balance of cutting-edge original research and practical clinical management articles on wounds and other problems of skin integrity. Each issue features CME/CE for physicians and nurses, the first journal in the field to regularly offer continuing education for both disciplines.
