Rehab professionals know not every person fits into the qualifying criteria setup by Medicare. Regardless, there is a need to abide by the guidelines as closely as possible to be successful in providing the equipment the consumers need. This course will provide attendees with a description of different diagnoses and what limitations and needs these individuals may have. Specific to each category of diagnoses will be a description of equipment considerations, including mobility base, power seating and specialty controls and how to program the electronics to the individuals needs. The participants will be introduced to what programming options are available for clients and how to program the equipment to maximize a client’s ability to participate in their daily activities.
