AJ Clinical Assessment Services
Wheelchair seating and mobility is a technical and specialized area of rehabilitation medicine. One must understand the unique characteristics of the individual and the current technology in order to choose the best type of mobility assistance equipment (MAE)
Successful delivery of a wheelchair and seating system begins with making the determination that the patient has a mobility impairment that requires the use of an MAE. Rehabilitation principles apply in the decision-making process. The needs of the patient, as well as of the caregiver, are paramount. Goals include facilitation of mobility, positioning, support, adaptations to temporary or permanent conditions, and optimization of function.
An appropriately used system that is accepted by the patient and caregiver is an indicator of a well-developed system.
In 2011 AJ Mobility will have the facilities to fully assess a patients′ needs & requirements to ensure we offer a full spectrum of services.
