Another beautiful submission. Pls spell your name for me so I can refer to you by name. I am interested in knowing more about the different frames and make. And what are the likely question for a band 6 wheelchair Therapist. Alimi Talayo. I want to have a change of scene, climate and job description also. Your coaching will be of great help
Thank you so much for helping me! Do you have a good resource to follow for positioning of center of mass in relation to the axel? I am struggling on this!
Hi, thank you for the videos, truly enjoy them. I was wondering if you tutor NBCOT. I really need help to prepare for the exam. Also, is it possible to do a video on splints?
@OTOverEasy Straight, L-shape, and switch back ramp..Also what space and height fit each..I know you have touch on them, but can you please dive in more?
@@adiatukoroma2544 These should all follow the same rules outlined in Wheelchairs (Part 2)! The slopes will be calculated the same way. For L shapes and switchbacks, at places where the ramp turns you would need the same minimum 5x5 foot space for the wheelchair to turn in. Don't worry too much about this, it is unlikely an exam would ask you about these types of ramp because they vary much more; just understand how to calculate slope!
do you know which axle placement would be best for LE amputees and to easily lift over curbs? all the sources I have seen seem to counter eachother. Some say front and some say rear so i'm not sure.
As always it will depend exactly on the client, but I would think on average you need to shift the axel towards the back for a LE amputees. Think about center of gravity- for someone with legs, their legs will be at the front of the chair and provide counter-weight to the rest of their body. Without legs, you lose that counter-weight, and are more likely to tip backwards; therefore, you want to move the axel backwards to account for the change in center of gravity. If you move it TOO far back then it's really hard to tip back at all and that will make it hard to lift over a curb. So you do want it backwards, just not so far back that it compromises ability to get on a curb.
Thanks so much! I am preparing for the NOTCE (Canadian OT Board Exam) and really enjoyed this wheelchair review series :)
You make learning super fun and the concepts easy to understand. I appreciate the visual demonstrations as examples. Thank you!
Your videos are so helpful for my quick review of key concepts before my OTR exam tomorrow! Thank you 🙂
How did you do?
@@degrasi135790 Passed! 🙌
@@amandacantrell438 Yayyyy!

I recommend OT help desk
Thank you, really appreciate it.
I think PasstheOT has courses you can take that offer private tutoring
Hi, it's almost time for me to take my exam. Is it possible for you to make video on the different types of ramp? I am really struggling with them.
Hey there! Can you give me examples of what you mean by different types of ramp? I'm not sure I recall having to study ramps beyond length vs height
