of gravity of the wheelchair and may cause the wheelchair
to tip backwards, potentially resulting in injury. Always

help increase stability.
Prior to prolonged sitting, any cushion should be tried for
•
a few hours at a time while a clinician inspects your skin
to ensure that red pressure spots are not developing.

JAY ZIP COMPONENTS
FITTING A PRESSURE DISTRIBUTING 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 pelvic loading area toward the rear. When fit correctly,
your hips should be to the back of the chair. Your ischials (seat
bones) should be centered in the rear 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.
Avoid using overly stretched backrest upholstery. Stretched
back upholstery does not provide adequate support for the
body and improper positioning may result. Replace stretched
backrest upholstery or purchase a back support product from
Sunrise that is appropriate for you. contact an authorized
supplier for a free demonstration of these products.
