Hands-On Spex Training 101 - Auckland (Afternoon Session)

A hands-on afternoon workshop for clinicians. Assess complex postures and configure Spex seating components to meet real clinical goals.
About this Event

Designed for clinicians who want to build their understanding of the Spex Seating approach to wheelchair prescription.

This workshop is designed for clinicians who want to build their understanding of the Spex Seating approach to wheelchair prescription.

Through interactive, real-world activities, participants will explore problem-solving using modular seating components - supporting both common cases and more complex presentations.

What to Expect:

Interactive demonstration: explore and problem solve postural challenges such as kyphosis, posterior pelvic tilt, pelvic obliquity, scoliosis, and windswept hip distortion.

Hands-on configuration: Assess postural alignment, select appropriate Spex components, and modify seating configurations to optimise comfort, function, and pressure care.

Collaborative learning: Work together to strengthen clinical reasoning and confidence in product prescription.

Practical outcomes: Leave with enhanced skills in seating assessment and configuration, ready to apply evidence-based strategies in your own practice.

Key Learning Objectives:

1. Identify and assess common and complex postural presentations (kyphosis, pelvic tilt, obliquity, scoliosis, windswept hips).
2. Contour Spex cushions and back supports for posture and pressure care goals.
3. Evaluate the impact of seating adjustments on posture, comfort, function, and pressure distribution.
4. Collaborate with peers and facilitators to solve complex seating challenges and justify product choices.
