an OTR is making positiong recommendations for a resident of a skilled nursing facility who had a right CVA with hemiplegia 6 months ago. The resident has poor trunk control and is unable to self-propel a standard wheelchair. In addition to sitting in a posterior pelvic tilt, the resident’s left rib cage is retracted and increased pressure is placed on the left ischial tuberosity when the resident is sitting in the wheelchair. Which adaptation would be most beneficial for the OTR to recommend to improve this resident’s sitting position in the wheelchair? (a) full lap tray mounted over the arm rests and a high-profile, aire-filled seat cushion. (b)Adjustable-angle back support with an anterior trunk harness attached to the frame (c)Lateral trunk support and a foam hip guide attached to the back of the chair
