understand their causes and your role in a skin management program.
Your therapist and physician should be consulted if you have questions
regarding individual limitations and needs.
All cushions should be selected carefully. Working with your therapist
and physician is the best way to assure that a cushion choice matches
your individual needs. As the needs of the individual become more
complex, cushion evaluation becomes more important.
