What Does the Padding Set Do?
The Three-Piece Wheelchair Padding Set is comprised of a base cushion, a back piece and twin arm covers. It works by providing an extra layer of hollow-fibre padding to reduce the pressure placed on select parts of the body when seated for prolonged periods. Cushioning both releases pressure on the hips and spine and enhances general comfort.
What Conditions and Symptoms Can Wheelchair Padding Help to Alleviate?
Unfortunately, wheelchair use has a tendency to accelerate the symptoms of a number of other conditions. If you use a wheelchair and suffer with any of the conditions listed below, using a padding set is sure to help alleviate pain and discomfort:
- Arthritis
- Chronic Back Pain
- Compressed Spine
- Degenerative Disc Disease
- DVT
- Hip Flexor Tightness
- Muscle Pain
- Poor Seated Posture
- Slipped Disc
- Spinal Issues
What Is The Padding Made From?
The padding in the Three-Piece Cushioning Set is made from hollow-fibre which is an incredibly lightweight and soft compound. It is resistant to squishing and loss of shape constriction, making it ideal for use in cushions and other pressure resistant items.
Will This Set Fit My Wheelchair?
Provided your wheelchair adheres to a traditional back piece, base and twin arm design, the Three-Piece Set should fit. The set is not suitable for use with bariatric wheelchairs as the sizing will vary.
Hook and Loop Fastenings
A hook and loop fastening uses a scratchy and soft side to adhere to one another and secure two pieces of separate material in place.
