Sleep Positioning for Wheelchair Users
Course release date: 8/21/2025
Course Overview
Wheelchair seating and mobility is an essential intervention for many individuals with disabilities. These same individuals also have positioning needs outside of the wheelchair to allow them to lie, sit, and stand in as an aligned posture as possible. Lying Posture Care Management includes assessment and intervention in a lying position and is primarily used during sleep. Sleep positioning can be used to improve the quality and duration of sleep, promote health and maintain safety during sleep, as well as minimize, prevent, and even reverse orthopedic changes. This course will include sleep positioning terminology, need, goals, interventions, and current research. Case studies will be used throughout. This course is designed primarily for occupational and physical therapists who work with people who require complex rehab technologies to meet their positioning needs throughout a 24-hour time period.
