Learn with Wendy Oelefse about the role of occupational therapy in spinal cord injury rehabilitation. She will give you a general overview of the work occupational therapists do with individuals with spinal cord injuries before delving into the details of upper limb management. Her courses are full of clinical tips to help preserve and optimise upper limb function in persons with tetraplegia. You’ll learn about assessment and treatment options to reduce the risk of contractures, pain, and functional limitations in individuals with spinal cord injuries. Treatments covered include upper limb positioning, assistive devices, transfers, splints and more.

Best of all, Wendy’s courses are full of practical demonstrations. Her videos demonstrate transfers, wheelchair propulsion techniques  and different upper limb positioning options, – so you can implement these techniques right away in your own practice. 

No matter what your role is in the spinal cord injury team, you’ll learn how the work of occupational therapists can complement your own.
