Thigh Depth, Cushion Depth & Seat Depth - Wheelchair Terms You Should Know (Part 2)

Thigh 𝐃𝐞𝐩𝐭𝐡? Cushion 𝐃𝐞𝐩𝐭𝐡? Seat 𝐃𝐞𝐩𝐭𝐡? [PART 2]
Are they all the same terms?
Short answer, no. But sometimes yes. Let's learn.
I've been working in Wheelchairs and Seating for years and even I still get in bad habits of mixing these up. I use them interchangeably when I shouldn’t. So this is a video for me as a reminder to do better Justin.
Being honest, if you mix these terms up. No one but the Rule Followers will call you out on it. We all get what you mean based on the context. But! I figured I would still explain it to everyone in case they are looking at a script/quote of a wheelchair and are scared or confused that the delivered chair will be a disaster. Hopefully this helps - let me know if you have any questions or found this helpful. Share it to any colleagues who would appreciate the clarification.
Also, I am in the process of making a step-by-step stress free guide to wheelchairs and seating. I’ve put hours into it to make it exactly what therapist wants to know. To do this, I have been interviewing OTs/PTs/ATPs to learn more about their actual challenges, frustrations, dreams and goals so I can make the course exactly what the people want. If you’re down for a 1:1 interview with me to help, please let me know by throwing a "❤️❤️" below or sending me a DM.
