Healthcare professionals invited to a 20-minute webinar on managing progressive disorders

Postural support specialist Aergo Health is hosting a webinar next week for health and social care professionals about what can be done to help manage progressive disorders.

The free webinar, ‘Managing Progressive Disorders’ takes place on Tuesday 4 October from 1pm-1.30pm. Register for free here.

This latest session is part of Aergo Health’s ‘in TWENTY’ monthly sessions. These free online events cover a range of occupational therapy, physiotherapy, and disability topics in just 20 minutes on the first Tuesday of every month.

For the upcoming ‘Managing Progressive Disorders’ webinar, Dr Barend ter Haar will be hosting the session. Dr ter Haar has been involved in seating and mobility for over 30 years, including lecturing internationally, and developing international seating standards.

He will explore what can be done to help people whose functional abilities reduce over years and months as muscle control progressively decreases while the need for intervention increases.

Attendees will have the opportunity to ask Dr ter Haar any questions.

Dr ter Haar writes the ‘Let’s get it clear’ series of articles. Published monthly in AT Today’s sister print publication for the mobility and independent living trade, THIIS Magazine, the articles explore aspects in the world of posture and mobility where there are common misconceptions and myths to be addressed to help promote better practice.

As well as being published in THIIS Magazine, the ‘Let’s get it clear’ series of articles is also available to read online on AT Today. Topics include positioning belt safety, understanding standards in relation to medical devices, pressure mapping, and much more. Read the series here.
