Adjusting the Flex Cushion
• Adjustments to be done by a certified and experienced clinician such as a doctor, therapist or rehab
engineer who is skilled in seating and positioning. Adjustments must be done following a proper
assessment of the user’s needs.
• Flex Cushion must not be used without covers.
WARNING
The Flex Cushion can be configured to suit many different postures
of persons with disabilities or sitting issues. By adjusting the strategic
positioning base with wedges and pads, the Cushion surface can be
contoured to improve overall posture, pelvic alignment, sitting ability,
comfort and pressure reduction. Due to the adjustable nature of the
Flex Cushion we recommend, initial assessment / configuration of the
Cushion is carried out without the covers. Having a clear view and access
to positioning base, wedges and pads will assist with the optimum
setup of the Cushion. Once the optimal configuration is achieved both
the outer and inner covers MUST be put back on the Cushion. The Flex
Cushion must not be used without covers.
Thigh Wedge:
The angle of the thigh section can be changed by adding or removing
the wedges under each thigh. Each wedge represents approximately
7° of adjustment. Ensure the Velcro on the wedges securely interlock
before use.
Front Facing Wedge
It is imperative that the Front facing wedge shown above must never be removed from the Cushion.
