In order to recommend the most appropriate seating and wheeled mobility equipment for a client, it is essential that a thorough evaluation takes place. The evaluation is considered to be a multi-step process which includes aspects such as: a client interview; establishment of goals; complete medical history; current medical status; review of past and current equipment; discussion of the environments in which the mobility device will be used (home, work, community, school, etc.); transportation of the equipment; and a MAT assessment. The Education in Motion Seating & Mobility Evaluation form is intended to serve as an example and guide as to what to include when evaluating a client for seating and wheeled mobility equipment.
