Customizable, individualized fit, and lightweight are all terms frequently utilized to describe the category of wheelchairs known as ultralight wheelchairs (ULWC) or in Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System (HCPCS) terms, K5s. Having the ability to design an ULWC to meet a client’s specific needs is ideal; however, in order to select the proper equipment and justify funding, the team must understand all of the options and why a client may need them. This session will provide an overview of numerous considerations that go far beyond the weight and the adjustable axle plate in order to help facilitate improved outcomes and funding of an ULWC.

Course Objectives:

• At the end of this session participants, will be able to articulate at least three adjustments or modifications that can be made to a rear axle plate to improve an individual’s overall function in an ULWC.
• Upon completion of this session, attendees will be able to list at least frame angle options available on an ULWC and describe the potential clinical justification for each.
• At the end of this session participants will be able to identify two resources available to assist with selecting and justifying the optimal ULWC, including components, to meet the client’s needs.
