Tutorial five: Video production

As Occupational therapy students we are required to take part in a number of "placements". During my first year I was placed in a setting that assessed clients for complex wheelchair seating.


 

Here is a clip of a young man with Muscular Dystrophy showing us that even though he may not be able to drive a car yet, he can still participate in the popular sport of drifting.



 

 This clip shows the advances in the world of powered wheelchairs.



 

 All terrain wheelchairs have the ability to allow the user the chance of easily accessing areas they may not have been able to before.



 

 Here we see concept wheelchairs utilising all terrain tracks to enable the effortless climbing of stairs.



 

 For the everyday wheelchair user a great deal of the world can be just outside of their reach, these powered chairs allow the user accessibility without making the wheelchair physically any larger than a standard model. Although this technology does come with a substantial pricetag.
