Our speaker, Rubén Serrano Moreno, will present in Spanish on the topic:
Anticipating possible and probable postural events

Early identification of postural risk is one of the most powerful tools in wheelchair service provision. This session explores how clinicians can move from reacting to postural challenges to anticipating them before they become severe or irreversible.

Drawing on evidence and clinical practice, the webinar will explore key indicators of future postural deterioration, the relationship between seating decisions and long-term musculoskeletal outcomes, and practical strategies to support earlier, more proactive intervention.
