When selecting a cushion for a fixed or mobile seating system, it is essential to consider the user’s specific needs, ensuring they remain at the core of the decision-making process.
No single performance metric or clinical test should be used as the sole determinant when selecting a cushion. An optimal seating solution for an individual can only be identified through a comprehensive approach. An individual’s lifestyle and personal preferences play a crucial role in the final decision, as well as the identified needs for cushion selection. These needs include skin protection, stability and balance, pain and comfort, positioning and posture, transfer method and durability.
This interactive masterclass will explore the various metrics and clinical applications of several cushion options.
