Join #OT Michelle Lange for "Maintaining Posture by Providing Movement" for wheelchair users with pending IACET CEUs provided by NRRTS as an authorized provider. A primary goal of #wheelchair seating is to maintain the client’s optimal seated posture. As many clients extend against typically static surfaces and move within the seating system, posture is often lost, and the client needs to be repositioned. For clients with increased muscle tone, large and forceful movements, or rocking tendencies, contact is lost between the client’s body and the seating surfaces, resulting in suboptimal positions, such as a posterior pelvic tilt, when extension or movement ceases. While perhaps counterintuitive, providing movement within the seating system, using #DynamicSeating, can allow client movement and return their body to a neutral seated position. This course will dive deep into exactly how clients lose optimal posture within their seating systems and how to maintain posture through movement. https://ow.ly/8mYU50UFLOy

Children, especially today, are exposed to more technology which leads to wear and tear on their spine. Prolonged sitting and improper posture can lead to unhealthy stress on the spine, neck and shoulders. Chiropractors can help children manage poor posture while using their devices as well as teach them exercises to reduce stress on their spine. #children #technology #sittingposture #spine #carlingfordchiro

Are you curious about what makes a wheelchair stable and what are the main aspects to consider when assesing stability in wheelchairs? Check out the following material prepared by our Rollz physiotherapist, in which the interplay between the safety standards of the wheelchair and the patient's usage habits is discussed, highlighting how these elements work together to maximize stability and minimize the risk of injury.  #RollzInternational #MobilityAids #StabilityInWheelchairs #healthcare #insights #safety

Have you ever experienced pain in your neck and shoulders on your "mouse side"? It's possible that you have mouse shoulder. Learn how to avoid this issue of the twenty-first century. https://lnkd.in/dDKEkXS3 #MouseShoulder #OfficeErgonomics

Enhance your shoulder function with mobility training. Why you should do it: 1. Prevent Injury: Improved shoulder mobility reduces the risk of impingements, rotator cuff injuries, and joint strain, which are common in adults with sedentary lifestyles or repetitive movements. 2. Enhance Daily Function: Better mobility allows for smoother overhead and reaching motions, making everyday tasks like lifting groceries or reaching high shelves easier and pain-free. 3. Improve Posture: Maintaining shoulder mobility helps counteract the effects of desk jobs and poor posture, reducing stiffness and promoting a more upright, confident stance.

Finger Dexterity & Movement Post-Stroke 🧠 1. Range of motion exercises: Perform gentle range of motion exercises for your fingers and hand regularly. This can include flexing and extending your fingers, making fist movements, and stretching your fingers individually. 2. Finger stretches: Use your unaffected hand to gently stretch and flex each finger of the affected hand. Hold each stretch for 10-15 seconds and repeat several times. 3. Hand therapy exercises: Consult with a certified hand therapist or occupational therapist who can provide you with specific exercises targeted at improving finger and hand function. They can guide you through activities that strengthen your fingers, such as squeezing therapy putty, using therapy balls, or manipulating small objects. 4. Grasp and release exercises: Practice picking up small objects, such as coins or beads, using your affected hand. Start with larger-sized objects and gradually progress to smaller ones as your dexterity improves. Click here to check out some from Saebo. 5. Finger tapping exercises: Tap your fingers individually on a table or any flat surface, starting with your unaffected hand and then mirroring the movements with your affected hand. 6. Bilateral activities: Engage in activities that involve both hands working together, such as playing a musical instrument, folding clothes, or using scissors. This can help improve coordination between your affected and unaffected hand. 7. Mirror Box Therapy: This amazing, inexpensive innovation of mirror box therapy lies in its simplicity. The only physical components of the treatment are: the mirror, and the patient. *The mirror box itself isn’t always a box, but the principles remain the same among the various designs.  #strokerecoverysolutions #strokesurvivor #strokeawareness
