Specialized Wheelchair Evaluation and Custom Seating Clinic
Any citizen of New Mexico with a developmental disability may ask for assistance in obtaining a specialized wheelchair and/or custom seating system. The CSB Specialized Wheelchair Evaluation and Custom Seating Clinic located in Los Lunas, New Mexico is staffed by a physical therapist and experienced staff members. Durable medical equipment providers supply appropriate wheelchair frames and the new custom seating systems are manufactured at the clinic for individuals with developmental disabilities. The clinic staff can also troubleshoot problems and repair existing wheelchairs and seating systems.

Specialized Wheelchair and Custom Seating Systems

People with developmental disabilities sometimes have special conditions that can present a barrier to mobility using ordinary seating systems. The customized seating system creates mobility for people with unique conditions such as physical deformities, muscle tone problems, motor control or coordination that interferes with their mobility. A physical therapist evaluates individuals with those special seating needs, and based on the evaluation process, a customized seating system is built. The evaluation may be for a new wheelchair and seating system or it can also be for modifications to an existing wheelchair.
