seating

Dutch translation: stoelen

GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
English term or phrase:seating
Dutch translation:stoelen
Entered by: Willemina Hagenauw

Other / aides for people with disabilities
English term or phrase: seating
"In today's environment, both in the clinical and commercial seating and mobility arena, the need for good bases knowledge is essential."

"The clinical course range is targeted at clinical professionals, specialist dealer associates and others who prescribe seating and wheelchairs."

It concerns here seating for disabled people and wheelchairs. I wonder if "stoelen" is the right option, could anyone help me with a better option?

stoelen
Explanation:
"zitmeubels" lijkt me meer op luxe-goederen te wijzen. "zitmeubels voor gehandicapten" vind ik vreemd. Ik zou het bij "stoelen" houden.

\'Fauteuils\" are also specially made and provided for handicapped people and would not normally be called a \'stoel\'.
