This document provides a wheelchair assessment form for collecting information about a patient's medical history, physical abilities, and needs for wheelchair seating and mobility equipment. The form collects details on diagnosis, posture, range of motion, strength, sensation, skin integrity, functional mobility, communication abilities, and environmental factors. Measurement data and photos are also included. Recommendations are made for specific wheelchair components to meet the patient's needs and facilitate independence.

Goals for Wheelchair Mobility
Independence with mobility in the home and motor related ADLs (MRADLs) in the community
Independence with MRADLs in the community
Provide dependent mobility
Provide recline
Provide tilt
Goals for Seating system
Optimize pressure distribution
Provide support needed to facilitate function or safety
Provide corrective forces to assist with maintaining or improving posture
Accommodate client’s posture: current seated postures and positions are not flexible or will not tolerate corrective
forces
Client to be independent with relieving pressure in the wheelchair
Enhance physiological function such as breathing, swallowing, digestion

SEATING COMPONENT RECOMMENDATIONS AND JUSTIFICATION
Component Manuf/mod/size Justification
Seat Cushion accommodate impaired stabilize pelvis
sensation accommodate obliquity
decubitus ulcers present accommodate multiple
prevent pelvic extension deformity
low maintenance neutralize LE
increase pressure
10. distribution
Seat Wedge accommodate ROM Provide increased
aggressiveness of seat shape
to decrease sliding down in the
seat
Cover Replacement protect back or seat cushion
Mounting fixed attach seat platform/cushion to mount headrest
hardware w/c frame swing medial thigh
lateral trunk supports swing away for: attach back cushion to w/c support away

provide lateral head support safety
provide anterior head support accommodate ROM
support during tilt and recline accommodate tone
improve feeding improve visual orientation
Neck Support decrease neck rotation decrease forward neck flexion
Upper R L decrease edema decrease gravitational pull on
