- An Introduction to Low Vision Rehabilitation for Occupational Therapists 2Course release date: 5/19/2021
About the Course:
This basic introductory course is intended to familiarize the OT practitioner, who may not have received low vision education or is not comfortable intervening with this population, with current evidence-based information related to the management of patients with low vision. The course content is designed to increase the reader’s understanding of and ability to generalize concepts into the OT process when working with patients experiencing occupational performance deficits due to low vision. OT practitioners will need to pursue further education if they wish to specialize in low vision rehabilitation. - Dynamic Seating: Moving Beyond Static Wheelchair Seating 2Dynamic seating provides movement within a wheelchair. When the client moves, the dynamic seating components move with the client, maintaining alignment with the seating system for postural support and stability. Clients who extend within the seating system or seek out movement may benefit from dynamic seating. Dynamic components absorb and diffuse force, protecting both the client from pain and injury and the wheelchair seat and frame from damage. Absorbing force may reduce muscle tone. Providing movement can increase alertness and decrease agitation. Movement can also improve function and postural control.
