Wear in Wheelchair Cushions

Wear in Wheelchair Cushions

​Often when I go into hospitals and other facilities – places that have equipment pools for seating and mobility, but limited budgets for replacement items – I am asked "How can you tell if a cushion is worn out?" Because of the frequency of that question, I thought it would make a great topic for Clinical Corner. It is also a topic that is applicable for evaluating an individual wheelchair user's cushion to determine when a replacement cushion may be needed if there are no provincial funding guidelines.
