Anterior pelvic tilt: Leave Cushion flat or slightly raise front of Cushion
for neutral alignment of the pelvis and/or promote weight bearing
on ischial tuberosities.
Extensor thrust: Increase hip and knee flexion by building more
support under front of thighs.
Pelvic obliquity: Build-up under low side to correct, under high side
to accommodate.
NOTE: In all the above situations, adjust the back support and foot
plates to fit.
The Flex cushion is provided with two covers which must both be used; incontinence and outer. The
abduction wedges are also provided with a cover which must be used if abduction is required from
the cushion.
Once the adjustments are made to the cushion wedges, after assessing the user, the incontinence
cover must be put on (ensure the velcro side is on the bottom). Insert each leg of the cushion and
zip the cover up. The covers have two flaps at the front of the cushion, these are to be pulled tight, if
wedges have been removed you may have to fold some of the cover under the cushion.
WARNING
Ensure that there are no wrinkles, folds and creases on top or front of the cushion
Repeat the process for the outer cover.
Configurations must depend on biomechanical evaluation and assessment.
