Manual Wheelchair Adjustments and Skills Training - CAIRNS

Successful wheelchair prescription is a journey of marrying the interview assessment outcomes with the manual “roll-up your sleeves” clinical exploration that comes with diving deeper into wheelchair-specific assessment processes.

One such assessment is the Mechanical Assessment Tool (MAT).

Therapists are often asked for the completed MAT assessment as a part of their clinical justification for complex AT prescriptions. Are you confident in knowing the where, when, why, and how of the MAT evaluation process?

Join us for a full-day introduction to the Mechanical Assessment Tool (MAT), exploring hands-on assessment techniques to map skeletal landmarks, interpret joint range of motion, and the impact of high and low muscle tone on seated postures and functional patterns.

Learn how the outcomes of the MAT will assist with evaluating postural alignment for the intervention of supportive seating systems and 24-hour postural management plans.

Therapist Experience Level: Beginner to intermediate
