Pride U and Quantum University     Medical Justification for Powered Mobility and Power Seat Functions in   Bariatric Adults and Medically Compromised Individuals     Instructor: Jenny Lieberman, MS OTR/L, ATP - Mount Sinai Hospital, New York, NY     Level: Intermediate Seating & Positioning course   Duration and Credits: 6 Hours - 0.6 CEUs and 6 CECs   Course description: Identification of and justification for powered mobility   and power seating is based upon medical presentation and client symptoms. The   focus of this course will be on the Bariatric population, as well as medically   compromised clientele. The use of powered mobility in Bariatrics is often   controversial. A review of the literature, combined with case presentations,   will provide argument in support of this based on individual medical needs.   Additionally, the medically compromised individual is often overlooked for   powered seating, which is often medically necessary. Research will be used to   support justification of powered seating with this population, depending on   the client’s presentation. Similarly, case presentation will be used to   support provision.     Date(s) of Course:   September 22, 2010 – Boston, MA     Cost: $ 160.00 (includes continental breakfast, lunch, seminar materials, and   certificate)     **Register online (www.quantum-university.com) to receive a $10.00 discount   for this course.     Contact Information:   Jennifer Wilson   Email: jwilson@pridemobility.com   Ph: 800.800.8586 x 1398
