Introduction
The Flex Cushion is a contoured, modular and adjustable cushion for users with symmetrical or
asymmetrical limited hip flexions and extensions. It is designed for supporting the pelvis and legs correctly
for users with pelvic obliquities, internal and external rotations, while offering skin protection. The
strategic positioning system used underneath enables easy and on-‐the-‐spot adjustment.
Note: Check all parts are free from shipping damage. Contact Medifab or your supplier for further
instructions if needed. Medifab recommends that a clinician such as an Occupational Therapist or
Physiotherapist who is skilled in wheelchair seating and positioning be consulted to determine if the Flex
Cushion is appropriate for the user.
Flex Cushion is an excellent choice for individuals who:
•
Have symmetrical or asymmetrical limited hip flexion
•
Have internal hip rotation with tight hamstrings on one side
•
Require pelvic and thigh pressure distribution due to asymmetric sitting posture
•
Have changing postural needs over time
•
Require a high degree of pelvic stability and specific contouring
