The 6-hour, fully accredited online CEU course presented by Kendra Betz, MSPT, ATP, and Ron Boninger, BSME, MBA, spotlights the importance of upper limb preservation in manual wheelchair users. The course provides an in-depth review of the clinical guidelines, “Preservation of Upper Limb Function Following Spinal Cord Injury: A Clinical Practice Guideline for Healthcare Professionals.” Emphasis will be placed on the practical implementation of the guidelines to foster an enhanced standard of care for all people who use manual wheelchairs. From low tech to high tech (eg, from tape measures and stopwatches to the SmartWheel), learn about objective measurement techniques for propulsion training, wheelchair comparison, and equipment configuration. The course provides 6 contact hours of continuing education, which is the equivalent of .6 units. The University of Pittsburgh is certifying the educational contact hours of this program, and by doing so is in no way endorsing any specific content, company, or product.
