Wheelchair Seating


A Clinical Application Guide to Standardized Wheelchair Seating Measures of the Body and Seating Support Surfaces

​This clinical guide is the initial product of a two year project funded by the Paralyzed Veterans of America (PVA) Education Foundation Grant #668, under the direction of Kelly Waugh, PT, MAPT.  The overall goal of this project is to support and advance clinical practice and fundamental research in wheelchair seating, by increasing the adoption of standardized measures and terminology related to wheelchair seated posture and seating equipment parameters.

The manual is best viewed using the latest version of Adobe Reader.  For best viewing, we recommend enabling “Two Page View”.  Once the document is downloaded and open, go to the “View” menu, click on “Page Display”, and choose “Two Page View”.
