Ride Forward Cushion for Wheelchairs
Previous
Next
Comfortable visco-elastic foam surrounds the pelvis with supportive contours while reducing pressure around at-risk bony prominences.
The Forward Cushion surrounds the pelvis with supportive contours while reducing pressure around at-risk bony prominences. This helps improve postural control without compromise of skin protection for users with mild to moderate postural challenges and some sensation. The cushion helps to keep the hips level and positioned at the back of the chair for enhanced stability. The Forward Cushion is most effective when coupled with a Ride® back support to aid in postural support.
POSITION FOR IMPROVED BALANCE
Ride’s patented contoured base helps promote cushion as needed.
PROVIDES COMFORT AND PROTECTION
The top visco-elastic layer provides protection and comfort as it conforms to body shape, helping to decrease peak pressures.
FITS PEDIATRIC USERS
Forward Cushions are available in sizes as small as 10 x 10” with a contour specially optimized for the pediatric pelvis.
KEEPS SKIN COOL AND DRY
Even under significant load, the spacer fabric outer cover does not compress, allowing air to move between the sitter and the cushion. The inner cover really works. There are no seams or zippers in the path of liquid drainage, ensuring the cushion will not absorb moisture. Large accidents or spills simply roll off the back of the cushion.
CLEANS EASILY
The Forward Cushion can be disassembled and washed or sanitized.
