– Addressing postural challenges with functional strategies
Date: Thursday 18 March 2021
Time: 9am to 1pm
Location: Technology Park Function Centre, Bentley
Juvo Solutions is an Australian design and development company specializing in the manufacture of fully customizable Juvocare shower commodes to meet the complex and changing needs of commode users. Juvocare shower commodes are used extensively in Australian hospitals, aged care facilities and disability settings.
From assessment and prescription, to fitting and adjustment, this workshop provided therapists with a comprehensive understanding of the Juvocare commode range and appropriate clinical applications of each model.
Facilitated by Annette Terranova, clinical educator and trainer at Unicare Health, this workshop demonstrated the functional flexibility and innovations in the Juvocare shower commode design.
Annette started her workshop discussing the shower commode scripting process and taught participants how to develop an effective plan to script a fully functioning shower commode.
She also talked about the challenges of shower commode scripting including clinical justifications for funding approvals, family and carer knowledge and ongoing functional decline.
Using Juvocare’s range of shower commodes, Annette talked about the unique features and functions of each range and how to match client need to the appropriate models.
Participants were introduced to the key tools to maximising optimal commode choice encouraged to consider about the intrinsic and extrinsic factors when scripting shower commodes.
Annette dispelled common misconceptions that therapists have about the difficulties associated with customizing shower commodes by demonstrating how flexible it was to build up a shower commode using accessories and how easy it was to adjust Juvo’s range of shower commodes using simple tools to suit complex modification requests.
We were delighted to welcome John Murdoch, Design Manager at Juvo Solutions, who enjoyed answering questions about product functionality and design. John also shared some exciting insights about new models and features being developed.
