Résumé :	Rehabilitation conferences often have an opening theme of ‘look how far we have come’, but the closing message is ‘look how far we have to go’. This was true for the 2018 European Seating Symposium (EES), in Dublin, Ireland focusing on mobility and postural support devices. ‘Before and after’ pictures of products over the last 30 years suggest that technology has become more available in more contexts, including a recent wave of DIY technology with the ubiquity of 3D printing and scanning tools to produce custom equipment. The impressive evolution of this technology is not the whole story; in practice, many people do not have access, and policy and training efforts related to both service and rehabilitation equipment are often inadequate to ensure users receive appropriate products (MacLachlan et al., 2018).

Résumé :

Rehabilitation conferences often have an opening theme of ‘look how far we have come’, but the closing message is ‘look how far we have to go’. This was true for the 2018 European Seating Symposium (EES), in Dublin, Ireland focusing on mobility and postural support devices. ‘Before and after’ pictures of products over the last 30 years suggest that technology has become more available in more contexts, including a recent wave of DIY technology with the ubiquity of 3D printing and scanning tools to produce custom equipment. The impressive evolution of this technology is not the whole story; in practice, many people do not have access, and policy and training efforts related to both service and rehabilitation equipment are often inadequate to ensure users receive appropriate products (MacLachlan et al., 2018).
