A classification of wheelchair seating.
Selecting a wheelchair cushion for a person with a physical disability can be confusing and difficult. Because many cushions are commercially available and because no single cushion will work for all patient categories, the therapist needs to be aware not only of the factors that influence the selection of the cushion such as patient activity level and lifestyle, but also of the differences that exist among all the cushions she or he might recommend.
