Module 4 - Body Measurements

Key Concepts

1. A well-fitted seating and wheeled mobility system requires a "tailored made to measure" process.

2. The more the body is positioned and supported by the seating and wheeled mobility system, the more the dimensions of body measurements should be taken.

3. Consider the client and clinician's safety and reduce risk accordingly.

4. A systematic record of body measurement improves time efficiency for the trial process and provides clear specifications of sizing required in prescriptions.
