CUSTOM SEATING
CUSHIONS
Wheelchair users who are severely impacted by more complicated musculoskeletal and neuromuscular challenges and deformities (complex clients) may require custom-molded seats (CMSs) to maintain their comfort and function while in their wheelchairs. Custom contoured seating options are important to meet the needs of the complex client shape.
It is important for clinicians to thoroughly assess to provide appropriate seating system and seating options for wheelchair-bound individuals who are prone to develop pressure ulcers, and / or deteriorated physical (musculoskeletal / neuromuscular) deformities.
In custom-molded seating, susceptible areas at the body-seat interface may require a special intervention to reduce the likelihood of decubitus ulcer formation.
Custom-contoured wheelchair seating lowers risk of pressure injury and postural deterioration while custom-contoured wheelchair seating lowers risk of pressure injury and postural deterioration while increasing the stability and functional activity of the wheelchair occupant.
Custom Contoured: is foam carved, interlocking component or moulded solid seat and/or solid back support uniquely shaped to match the occupant with or without additional postural support devices.
