Abstract
This talk will use seating and mobility as a backdrop to discussing how to incorporate guidelines and best practices into your practice and the benefits to clinicians, their patients and researchers. We will review some of the guidelines that are essential in this area of practice, and it is hoped that by incorporating these into regular practice, we will be better positioned for potential future research in this area.
