Clinical Corner Returns!

Clinical Corner Returns!

I am excited to announce the return of Clinical Corner – Sunrise Medical Canada's monthly blog that features clinical seating and mobility topics! We heard from so many of you that you were sorry to see Clinical Corner retire in June of 2020. We heard you when you told us that you like to have Canadian clinical content in one central location on our website. As a result, we have answered the call to bring back Clinical Corner!

Clinical Corner Transitions

It is with mixed emotions that I write my last Clinical Corner article for Sunrise Medical Canada. I am NOT leaving Sunrise Medical; however, the Clinical Corner blog that I have been writing for the past 9+ years will be archived as we transition the focus to our global Education in Motion on-line resource.

Manual Wheelchair Webinar FAQs

Manual Wheelchair Webinar FAQs

In April and May of this year, the clinical educators from Sunrise Medical came together to deliver a 6-part, live, webinar series globally. The webinar topics included the mat evaluation, seating, head supports, manual wheelchairs, power seating functions and alternative drive controls. I presented the webinar on Manual Wheelchairs: Optimizing Prescription and Set Up earlier this month. The webinar was one hour in length and had hundreds and hundreds of participants from numerous countries. This meant that not all of the questions that were posed during the webinar could be answered during that time. Following the webinar, I responded to the questions via email. It became apparent that there were many frequently asked questions (FAQs). This month's Clinical Corner will share the FAQs and answers to the manual wheelchair webinar I presented.

Cleaning Seating and Mobility Equipment, Part 1 - Wheelchairs

We are in strange times. COVID-19 has become a global pandemic. People are practicing social distancing to "flatten the curve", or as I like to say, we are practicing physical distancing with social cohesion to help stop the spread of COVID-19 and to ease the strain on overburdened healthcare systems. People are aware of the need for frequent hand-washing and the need for frequent cleaning of high contact surfaces. As health care professionals, we have always been aware of the need to practice infection prevention and control in our practice settings. Now is a good time to review best practices for cleaning and disinfecting seating and mobility equipment.
