before use.

Active therapy (alternating) cushions may be unsuitable
for patients with poor sitting posture or pelvic deformity;
advice from a seating specialist should be sought.
Seated patients are at increased risk of pressure ulcers
particularly if they are immobile or have wounds over the
seating area. For optimal outcome, provide a pressure

good sitting posture and has a level base seat to support the
cushion, in addition to an individualised repositioning
programme.
