Global Seminar: Wheelchair Seating for Enhancing Elderly Care

"Seating” is a professional support to help elderly people with reduced trunk function and sitting posture to sit comfortably in a chair or other equipment.
This seminar will introduce actual examples of seating from training programs conducted by the International Society of Wheelchair Professionals (ISWP),　which is a collaborator of the WHO. This program is the first step to becoming professional caregivers and includes the effects of seating, respect for the rights of the patient in seating, and the need for education.
