Correction of pelvic pathologies

This training course is designed to provide theoretical and practical knowledge and experience to healthcare professionals for the purpose of self-directed wheelchair seating with the Libella Seat Varia anti-wheelchair cushion to clients in your organisation.

Who is the course for?

The course is designed for health care facility staff with a medical rehabilitation background - occupational therapists, physiotherapists, rehabilitation workers - who have at least 1 year of experience with wheelchairs and wheelchair aids*, have attended the Libella seminar: Principles of Healthy Wheelchair Sitting and have the use of the Pressure Mapping device in their own workplace**.

We recommend training at least two people from one healthcare facility for interchangeability.



*Training is highly specialized, therefore proof of required experience is a prerequisite.

**Libella design s.r.o. offers the possibility to purchase the Forsite SS XSENSOR as the exclusive distributor of this company for the Czech Republic and Slovakia.

What can I expect from the course?

After completing the course, the employee will be able to independently orient the client's seating on the wheelchair using the Libella Seat Varia seating system, including mastering professional medical and business communication and working with the business model of Libella design (order processing procedure, necessary administrative issues related to the order of the final product). As part of the training, the trained employee will receive a Libella Box with three sizes of the seating system and a comprehensive set of parts. For six months after the training, participants are entitled to free consultations with a Libella occupational therapist.
