Heat and moisture are well-known risk factors for those working with complex seating needs. WheelAir has spent the past five years researching this topic to better understand how to recognise symptoms. We have now created tools to clinically evaluate a client’s heat and moisture risk, and provided the evidence to justify the purchase decision. The product is now available and we’re ready to share this knowledge with you.
Topics covered during the webinar:
- General knowledge about heat and moisture related symptoms
- Conditions influenced by heat and moisture related symptoms

WHEELAIR WEBINAR: WARMTE EN VOCHT IN ROLSTOELZITTINGEN
28 oktober 2021
Vocht en warmte gerelateerde klachten zijn bekende symptomen voor hen die gebruik maken van een rolstoel of voor hen die werken met cliënten met complexe zitbehoeften. WheelAir heeft de afgelopen vijf jaar onderzoek gedaan naar dit onderwerp om beter te begrijpen hoe de symptomen herkend kunnen worden. We hebben nu tools ontwikkeld om het hitte- en vochtrisico van een client klinisch te evalueren en leveren daarmee een bijdrage aan het verantwoorden van de vergoeding. Deze tools zijn nu beschikbaar en we zijn klaar om deze kennis met u te delen.
Onderwerpen die tijdens deze webinar aan bod komen:
- Algemene kennis over warmte en vocht gerelateerde symptomen
- Aandoeningen die door vocht en warmte beïnvloed worden
- Hoe vocht en warmte gerelateerde symptomen te herkennen en te beoordelen

WHEELAIR WEBINAR: HEAT, EPILEPSY, AND WHEELAIR
Did you know that when your body overheats, there is an increased risk of developing a seizure? For those with epilepsy, the risk of experiencing a seizure is even more likely when they have a difficult time managing their body temperature, for example, due to close fitting seating systems, environmental temperature, or medication. During this webinar we will discuss the relationship between epilepsy and heat, how this works, who is more vulnerable, prevention methods, and the influence of the WheelAir system on temperature.
Topics covered during the webinar:
- Learn about the relationship between heat and epilepsy
- Case studies showing the effect of heat and moisture regulation with epilepsy patients
- And learn how to score the general heat and moisture risk of your client with our risk matrix
About WheelAir: The WheelAir system is the first temperature and moisture control system designed to fit any wheelchair. It disperses air evenly across the seat surface to lower your temperature, remove moisture build-up, and keep skin dry and clean.
