Author's, vendor's, or publisher's description The Seated Postural Control Measure for Adults SPCMA is a clinical instrument for evaluating the postural alignment of adults in their wheelchair as well as the impact of a functional task (moving their wheelchair) on functional control. Also, it allows the evaluation of changes in the seated postural control due to evolution in time or the effect of an adaptive seating intervention. It was inspired by the Seated Postural Control Measure (SPCM), a clinical tool for evaluating seating posture and the sitting behaviors of the pediatric clientele using a wheelchair (Fife et al., 1991, Roxborough et al., 1994).
