This 90-minute webinar provided essential guidance for occupational therapists, physiotherapists, and healthcare professionals prescribing seating for clients with neurological conditions.
Neurological conditions present unique challenges: progressive symptoms, fluctuating tone, unpredictable postural changes. How do you prescribe seating that works today AND adapts for tomorrow? How do you justify expensive equipment when the clinical picture keeps changing?
If you’ve ever felt uncertain about specifying seating for MS, Parkinson’s, cerebral palsy, or other neurological conditions – worried about getting it wrong or the equipment becoming unsuitable too quickly – this webinar will give you the confidence and clinical reasoning you need.
Why This Webinar is Essential:
- Learn from a seating specialist: Jo McConnell (Clinical Team Leader at an NHS wheelchair service, with 33+ years expertise in complex seating cases) will share her proven assessment frameworks for neurological presentations.
- Future-proof your prescriptions: Discover how to specify seating that accommodates disease progression, tone changes, and postural deterioration – avoiding costly re-assessments and equipment changes.
- Master tilt & recline solutions: Learn when and how to use tilt-in-space and recline functions effectively for complex neurological postures, pressure management, and tone reduction.
- Navigate the unique challenges: Understand how spasticity, dystonia, ataxia, muscle weakness, and fatigue impact seating needs – and what actually works in practice.
- See advanced solutions in action: 🪑 Live demonstrations of specialist seating features designed for neurological conditions, showing real-world applications.
What You’ll Master:
✅ Neurological Challenges in Seating – Understanding how different neuro conditions affect seating requirements and why standard solutions often fail
✅ Key Clinical Presentations – Systematic approach to assessing spasticity, fluctuating tone, progressive weakness, and complex postural patterns in neuro clients
✅ Future-Proofing Strategies – How to prescribe adaptable, adjustable seating that grows with changing clinical needs and justifies the investment
✅ Tilt & Recline Mastery – Evidence-based guidance on using tilt-in-space and recline to manage tone, pressure care, fatigue, and complex postures
✅ Progressive Conditions – Specific considerations for MS, Parkinson’s, MND, stroke, brain injury, CP, and other neurological presentations
✅ Live Equipment Demonstrations 🪑 – See how specialist features support neurological clients and learn what to look for when specifying
✅ Interactive Q&A – Get your specific neuro seating challenges answered by our expert
