Dynamic Seating

---

1.  Which of the following are goals of Dynamic Seating? To protect the client, seating system, mounting hardware, and mobility base To improve postural control To diffuse force All of the above

2.  Which is an advantage of allowing movement into a posterior pelvic tilt? Loss of pelvic position Reduces overall extension Increased pressure Knee extension

3.  Which is a disadvantage of allowing movement into a posterior pelvic tilt? Assumption of a destructive posture Diffusing force Increased pressure Knee extension

4.  Integrated systems are: A complete seat and wheelchair, generally, and not retrofittable to other bases Multiple dynamic movements work together Most are only available outside of the United States All of the above

5.  Complex client head movement may only be adequately captured by this type of dynamic head support: Single axis Multi axis Rotary head support Static

6.  Dynamic seating: Occurs within the seat and/or wheelchair frame Occurs in response to force from the client Absorbs force which in turn assists the client back to a starting position All of the above

7.  How does Dynamic Seating return the client to a neutral starting position? It does not Energy is stored in a spring or elastomer which assists in return to upright The client forces make the component "bounce" back Motors are used to return to a starting position

8.  What are some benefits to providing movement within the mobility base? Vestibular input Active range of motion Increased alertness All of the above

9.  Dynamic footrests must provide the following to prevent "jamming": Forward movement Downward movement Arcing movement Plantar flexion

10.  Excessive movement behind the head can lead to: Postural insecurity Increased extensor tone Reflexive response All of the above
