SELECT Cushion Adjustment for a Fixed or Flexible Pelvic Obliquity or Tilt
Warnings - SELECT Cushions:
- Consult with the prescriber or a clinician about adjustment of inflation levels in SELECT Cushion compartments.
- After adjusting the SELECT Cushion, lock the ISOFLO as instructed. If the ISOFLO is not locked, the inflation level in each compartment will change.
Fixed Pelvic Obliquity or Tilt:
To adjust the QUADTRO SELECT Cushion or the CONTOUR SELECT Cushion to accommodate a fixed pelvic
obliquity or a fixed posterior pelvic tilt:
1
Follow the Cushion Setup instructions on the previous page to make sure the cushion has the correct amount of air.
2
The individual should sit in their normal position while the air transfers through the ISOFLO Memory Control. When the
air transfer is complete, push the red knob toward the locked position.
3
Perform a hand check for each compartment of the cushion again, as instructed on the previous page.
Flexible Pelvic Obliquity or Tilt:
To adjust the QUADTRO SELECT Cushion to correct a flexible pelvic obliquity or a flexible posterior pelvic tilt:
1
Follow the Cushion Setup instructions on the previous page to make sure the cushion has the correct amount of air.
2
Make sure the ISOFLO Memory Control is in the unlocked position
3
Follow the instructions below.
Flexible pelvic obliquity:
a) Manually correct to the desired pelvic position. (For example, if the left
side of the pelvis is lower than the right side, either have the individual
lean toward the right, or place downward pressure on the right hip until
the desired position is achieved.)
b) Push the red knob toward the locked position.
c) Perform a hand check as instructed on the previous page.
"B" - inflation valve for posterior contour
section (air cells shown in gray)
Flexible posterior pelvic tilt:
a) Check to make sure there is approximately 1" (2.5 cm) of space between the
individual's bony prominences and the seating surface. Add more air if needed.
b) Lift both of the individual's knees to put more downward pressure on the pelvis
and to force air to the front of the cushion. This will create a "well" (a lower,
concave area) for the pelvis and will help prevent the pelvis from sliding forward.
c) Push the red knob toward the locked position.
d) Perform a hand check as instructed on the previous page.
