FITTING A PRESSURE DISTRIBUTING
CUSHION
Fitting the cushion
Select a cushion to match your hip width when in the seated
position. The cushion length should extend to within 1" -
2" (2.5cm -5cm) from the back of the knees. Place the cushion
to the back of the wheelchair with the material identification
tags and pressure relieving pad toward the rear. When fit
correctly, your hips should be to the back of the chair. Your
ischials (seat bones) should be centered on the insert in the
pelvic loading area of the cushion. Proper footrest adjustment
may enhance sitting comfort and help lower peak sitting
pressures. Adjust the footrests so your legs rest firmly but
comfortably on the cushion.
Avoid using the cushion on overly stretched seat upholstery.
Stretched upholstery does not provide adequate support for the
cushion and improper positioning may result. Replace stretched
upholstery or purchase the JAY Adjustable Solid Seat.

CUSHION ADJUSTABILITY
Fluid and Air Adjustability
The Fusion Cushion offers volume adjustability to accommodate
for users needs through the determination of the correct
amount of fluid made by your clinician during evaluation.
The determination of Air Single or Air Dual Models is also made
by your clinician during evaluation. The inserts should only be
changed at the direction of your clinician.
