Seating & Positioning

Besides maximising comfort, when you choose a pressure care cushion or seating aid, consider these factors:

Look for a cushion that supports the pelvis in a neutral position (decreasing posterior/ anterior tilt) to reduce development of kyphotic or lordotic spinal postures.

In the sitting position, the pelvis becomes the primary weight bearing structure. Due to the physiological structure of the pelvis, the skin is at risk of breaking down over the bony surfaces.
