- Clinical Webinar
Off-road power wheelchairs are transforming mobility, enabling users to access terrains once thought impossible. But who can truly benefit from this technology? This session will explore both the clinical and mechanical considerations for individuals considering off-road wheelchairs. We’ll dive into the functional requirements for the user, customisable seating options for comfort and postural support, skills for tackling off-road terrain, as well as the durability, safety, and functional features that enhance outdoor independence.
By the end, attendees will have an understanding of how off-road power wheelchairs expand mobility and empower users in challenging environments. Presented by Andrew Lopez, Quantum Product Specialist & Clinical Educator.
This module provides valuable understanding of diagnosing and addressing common and fundamental problems associated with powerchairs. Its central focus lies on power-related errors and tilt sensing capabilities found in VR2 and Q-logic electronics.
