Follow a real case study where a
client with motor neurone disease
received equipment from MASS. Hear
from the client, family, prescriber and
MASS staff about MASS processes,
stock trials, matching the equipment
to the person, and anticipating
equipment needs for a
neurodegenerative disorder.

Learn about basic maintenance and
adjustments for a range of simpler
assistive technology, including
manual wheelchairs, hoists, pressure
cushions, and bathing/toileting aids.
This workshop suits health
practitioners who want to build their
confidence with hands-on adjustment
of equipment and education of
clients in equipment maintenance
and cleaning. Allied health assistants
responsible for basic set-up of
equipment and management of
equipment stock may also benefit.

In this webinar we will summarise a
range of valid and reliable outcome
measures for adults with lower and
upper limb amputation. There will be
a focus on measures that are quick to
administer, with basic equipment and
free/minimal cost. You will learn how
these tests are conducted and
interpreted. We will explore how
these outcome measures can be used
to justify non-standard componentry,
justify other assistive technology
such as mobility aids, identify
priorities for intervention, and report
service and program outcomes.

Watch the webinar above live at the
MASS Office, and then work in pairs to
conduct each assessment on each
other. Build you confidence with
practical application of each outcome
measure.

This webinar aims to take a deep dive
into product standards for assistive
technology – what standards are, how
standards are developed, the role
standards can play in equipment
selection, limitations of standards in
product testing, buyer beware with
claims of standards compliance.

Learn about the core principles of
continence assessment, and what’s
expected for a MASS Continence
application. Hear from a Community

client’s experience with incontinence
and the assessment process involved.
