8. Upon completion of the Ride CAM wedge adjustment for ischial tuberosity clearance,
the optional well insert and spacer can be added to further alter the skin protection
characteristics of the cushion.
NOTE: Ride Designs recommends the use of the Ride Custom Cushion without well inserts
for the greatest degree of pressure relief and heat/moisture management. Ride well inserts
introduce subtle contact and envelopment of the ischial tuberosities which may be
desirable to improve the general “feel” of the cushion, and/or provide gentle support to
hemorrhoid tissue.
9. Unzip the cover of the Ride Custom Cushion and fold the top of the cover forward to
expose the ischial well relief.
10. Place the top insert, identified as the component with the “wings” that extend laterally
towards your greater trochanters, into the well with the concave groin relief area oriented
towards the front of the cushion (Illustration 6).
11. Replace the outer cushion cover and fully close the zipper.
12. Return the cushion to the chair and sit on the cushion to assess its feel with the insert
in place.
13. If additional support is preferred, unzip cover, remove top well insert, and place
the 1" (2.54 cm) bottom well insert spacer into the well with the concave groin relief
area oriented towards the front of the cushion (Illustration 7). Place the top ischial insert
on top of the 1" (2.54 cm) spacer matching the orientation of the groin relief contour
(Illustration 8).
14. Return the cushion to the chair and sit on the cushion to assess its feel with the insert
and spacer in place.
15. Upon completion of all cushion adjustments, if necessary, trim protruding material from
accessories to improve fit of the cover (Illustration 9). Install cover.
Optional Accessories
Other accessories to personalize the fit of your Ride Custom Cushion are available and
can be purchased through your authorized Ride Designs rehab technology supplier:
Ride Well Insert Kit
Ride well inserts introduce subtle contact and envelopment of the ischial tuberosities
which may be desirable to improve the general “feel” of the cushion, and/or provide
gentle support to hemorrhoid tissue.
Ride CAM
®
Wedge Kit
In addition to the Ride CAM Wedges being useful for adjustment of the Custom
Cushion for ischial tuberosity clearance, they can also be used to help correct a
pelvic obliquity. In the presence of a flexible and correctable pelvic obliquity, up to
two CAM Wedges can be used on the low side of the obliquity to promote a more
level pelvis.
