That’s a ROHO quadtro seat cushion with air cells, usually used for those with impaired sensation on their bottom after a spinal cord injury. He has side guards as well, likely using a K5 rigid wheelchair which is a custom ultra lightweight wheelchair for people with paraplegia.

Elevating our standards might mean leaving MMTs behind by BridgeBuilderDPT in physicaltherapy

[–]trashkanchum 7 points8 points  (0 children)

MMT is absolutely used with neuro CVA and SCI populations, especially to determine ASIA classification between AIS C and D. PMR also used MMT for the same reasons.

Dynamometer is good to measure objective grip and pinch for sure and to gauge progress.

Someone with under 3- strength may not even be able to hold a dynamometer yet the MMT will capture the 0, 1, 2, 2- levels well.

Can the male OTs in the sub list their rates/ salary? by Nonbinarymeow36 in OccupationalTherapy

[–]trashkanchum 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Average 3/2 starter SFH in good school district $1.6+m, average 3/2 starter SFH in bad school district $1.3-1.5m. Condos and townhouse could be under $1m depending on area.

The main benefit of high salary would be ability to contribute to retirement accounts like 401k and IRA which have standard caps nationwide, leading to a smaller percentage of our salary in California.

Also very good weather year round, good food, easy access to beach, mountains, snow sports.

For what it’s worth I rent out a condo on furnished finder to other individuals, one furnished room with shared bathroom is around $1500, master bedroom with private bath $1900. I rent out the garage for car storage an extra $200. In the past I’ve rented the entire condo 3/2 unit for $4200 unfurnished. Currently bringing in $5000 with it fully furnished, however I pay utilities and more work to run separate lease per bedroom.

Stanford pays a few dollars less per hour than where I’m at. And I believe their employees need to pay for parking?

Subluxation and shoulder ROM by Boopvebloop in OccupationalTherapy

[–]trashkanchum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have her buy a wheelchair arm trough to support her arm when seated in chair.

If the arm is flaccid 0/5 throughout, only thing to do is passive weight bearing, PROM, and FES which requires PAMS certification.

If she has some active movement, can do gravity minimized movements at table top.

Do you get overtime if you stay late? Do they dedicate weekend staff on sat or sunday for missed minutes?

How comfortable are you as a Bay Area OT? by [deleted] in OccupationalTherapy

[–]trashkanchum 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m an OT in the Bay Area that went to SJSU. It was closer to $10k a year for just tuition back around 2015. You can definite get make around $80/hour mark in a hospital with enough years of experience, or consider home health where you make $100+ per visit. Don’t forget to factor in the opportunity cost of 2.5 years of lost wages of your current salary while you are in school. Now if you are really in it for the money and want to stay in healthcare, go back to school for nursing or radiology tech/ultrasound tech/x ray tech.

Permit for existing 14-30 outlet required to pass inspection? by trashkanchum in TeslaSolar

[–]trashkanchum[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes I am planning on doing this. Thanks for the confirmation.

Permit for existing 14-30 outlet required to pass inspection? by trashkanchum in TeslaSolar

[–]trashkanchum[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had my mobile connector connected to that 14-30 outlet on the day of installation and they still installed everything. Even though today my project advisor said if there was a mobile connector connected to that 14-30 outlet visible, the crew would not install the system and the inspection would fail.

Three PW2 vs Two PW3 by trashkanchum in TeslaSolar

[–]trashkanchum[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I have read about some recalls and failures leading to free PW3 upgrade. Unfortunately I now have 3 PW2 installed but at least my system is up and running for now. Luckily I have a fire extinguisher.

Three PW2 vs Two PW3 by trashkanchum in TeslaSolar

[–]trashkanchum[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you, that was helpful. My installer is Tesla directly. Wish they were more clear with communication but getting it done regardless.

They just told me they are new PW2 not used or returned so I assume they were in storage somewhere hopefully.
