RESNA’s Wheeled Mobility and Seating Special Interest Group (SIG) is posting for public comment an update to the original RESNA Position on the Application of Tilt, Recline and Elevating Leg Rests. The original position paper was published in 2017.

This updated paper includes a Wheelchairs Literature Update. The paper synthesizes current literature to guide practitioners in decision-making and use of seat functions for individuals who require customized medical devices.

Since this is an update of a previously published paper and has already undergone extensive expert review within the SIG, the paper is posted for a 30 day public review comment period.
