Spex Simulation Lab: Hands-On Seating Solutions (Sydney)

This advanced simulation lab is designed for prescribing clinicians seeking practical experience in configuring Spex Seating systems to meet diverse and complex postural needs. Through immersive, hands-on tasks, participants will engage in real-time problem-solving using modular seating components to address both common and advanced presentations.

Interactive stations: Rotate through stations simulating postural challenges such as kyphosis, posterior pelvic tilt, pelvic obliquity, scoliosis, and windswept hip distortion.

Real-world simulation: Use asymmetrical suits and restricted range-of-motion setups to replicate clinical scenarios.

Hands-on configuration: Assess postural alignment, select appropriate Spex components, and modify seating configurations to optimise comfort, function, and pressure care.

Pressure mapping: Explore a dedicated station to evaluate the pressure care performance of your seating configuration.

Collaborative learning: Work alongside experienced seating specialists to strengthen clinical reasoning and confidence in product prescription.

Practical outcomes: Leave with enhanced skills in seating assessment and configuration, ready to apply evidence-based strategies in your own practice.

1. Identify and assess common and complex postural presentations (kyphosis, pelvic tilt, obliquity, scoliosis, windswept hips).
2. Apply hands-on skills to modify seating systems using simulation gear for real-world application.
3. Contour Spex cushions and back supports for posture and pressure care goals.
4. Evaluate the impact of seating adjustments on posture, comfort, function, and pressure distribution.
5. Collaborate with peers and facilitators to solve complex seating challenges and justify product choices.
