To adjust the Flex Cushion to fit your specific needs, follow these steps:
1. 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.
2. Abduction Wedge: Abduction wedges can be used to abduct the Flex Cushion. The wedges are 10°, but the abduction angle of the thigh section can be changed by adding or removing the abduction wedges or by trimming the abduction wedges to the required angle. Once the required angle is achieved, ensure the abduction cover is placed over the wedges and the abduction wedge is securely attached to the Cushion covers.
3. Wind-sweeping and Asymmetrical Abduction/ Internal and External Rotations: Pelvic rotation or abduction, internal and external rotation of one leg can also be allowed for by setting the position of one leg using the Velcro underneath and then inserting the required abduction wedges.
4. Pelvic Obliquity Adjustment: The rear section of the Flex Cushion can be configured by adding or removing the Velcro pads or side wedges to correct or accommodate obliquity.
5. Other Configuring Tips: Configurations must depend on biomechanical evaluation and assessment. For example, for anterior pelvic tilt, leave the Cushion flat or slightly raise the front of the Cushion for neutral alignment of the pelvis. For extensor thrust, increase hip and knee flexion by building more support under the front of the thighs. For pelvic obliquity, build up under the low side to correct and under the high side to accommodate.
Please refer to the user manual for detailed instructions and illustrations on how to adjust the Flex Cushion for your specific needs. It is recommended to consult with a qualified healthcare professional or therapist who is skilled in seating and positioning for proper assessment and adjustment of the cushion.
