AB Case:  StephanieStephanie,  15  years  old,  has  cerebral  palsy.  She  has  been  ambulating  with  forearm  crutches  since  she  had  surgery  for  tibial  derotation  osteotomies  9  years  ago.  Recently,  however,  her  increased  weight,  along  with  her  increased  muscle  tone  and  impaired  motor  control,  have  made  it  more  difficult  for  her  to  walk.  Stephanie  is  now  ready  to  begin  using  a  wheelchair  for  locomotion  over  longer  distances.  What  factors  should  be  considered  in  her  wheelchair  prescription?
