Workshop balance wheelchairs
This practical workshop is intended for ergonomists and physiotherapists who want to better advise clients about the balance wheelchair. In half a day, you will learn what balance technique is, when to use which type (active, passive, electric), and what that means for posture, load, and daily use. You will get to try out different models (including iBOT, Hoss) and practice in recognizable scenarios: narrow hallways, thresholds, forest, and beach surfaces. Participation is free of charge, including lunch, and you will receive 3 accreditation points.
Learning objectives – by the end you will be able to:
- Explain what a wheelchair with balance technique is and how it works in practice.
- Distinguish the differences between types of balance wheelchairs and appropriately match them to a user.
- Formulate concrete advice for daily situations (turns, thresholds, transfers).
- Outline the route to reimbursement and identify further steps for your client.
